Ryuga Syo – Work C2 Illustrations4 min read
Reading Time: 3 minutesWork C2 Illustrations is a very colorful collection of Ryuga Syo’s more recent commercial art works all packed into a A4-sized doujinshi and released for Comiket 78. It’s easily one of my favorite Comiket purchases and includes many finished pieces that drastically move away from the muted colors in his earlier 2008 art book, One Form – Ryuga Syo Illustrations. Even though some of the art work in Work C2 predates One Form, I’m glad to say there is only one one illustration that appears in both books.
The collection starts out with a couple of Code Geass illustrations, both of which were illustrated for Code Geass Comic Anthologies Queen volumes 3 and 4. Work C2 is 40 pages in total when counting the covers, and it keeps up the momentum with page after page of high quality, finished illustrations with high resolution printing.
There are several pages of brightly colored Koihime Musou illustrations which are the highlight of this collection for me. There are so many artists involved with Koihime Musou, and Ryuga Syo is the cover artist for the character anthology fan books that came out in 2008, called Ike! Ike! Bokura no Koihime Musou.
The illustrations all come from other commercial publications, so the overall quality of the works is a lot better than you tend to see in doujinshi publications. Characters from Clannad, Shuffle!, and other games make appearances.
Most of the latter illustrations in the book feature original character illustrations. Some were from Etsu Magazine while others were drawn for Dengeki Moeoh.
Work C2 Illustrations makes for a nice update on Ryuga Syo’s art works, as she’s done a lot of work since the last art book!
