Mini-Goddess XI, and Yoko by Kosuke Fujishima

Part three of Kosuke Fujishima's new Mini-Goddess strip, which is being published on the spine of montly issues of Afternoon. In case you missed any of the previous panels, you can find them all linked here.




Side Text: Little Risa from Across the Street
CAPTION: CONTINUED ON THE MARCH ISSUE!


Also, the third issue of Chara-Mel magazine, continuing the trend established by the previous two, features an illustration of an anime heroine drawn by Kosuke Fujishima. Here's Yoko:

Oh hey, Yoko. AKA The Reason that I Did Not Watch Gurren Lagann Until Somebody Forced Me To.

Hmm, Yoko looks a lot better than Fujishima's previous effort, but still not nearly as good as his amazing Saber portrait. Oh come, Fujishima, you can do better than this. Where's the crazy dynamic perspective that you like to use in your manga? Where's, I dunno, your knowledge of human anatomy? Yoko's legs look like perfectly cylindrical tree trunks! And why doesn't she have a stomach? You draw Belldandy with a nice stomach, so why not Yoko? Nice detail on the gun, though. I guess.

The sad thing is... In the same magazine, there's a painting of Yoko riding a motorcycle, by a different artist, that totally blows Fujishima's rendition of Yoko out of the water. And yet it's Fujishima's Yoko that gets featured on the cover of the magazine. Sigh.
