U10folio U10/mkty Artworks Collection3 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutesU10 is an artist I often find as a guest in the collection of others. But this time U10 is the star with U10folio, a full color doujinshi featuring art works that range from Hatsune Miku to the singing group Perfume.
U10folio is a B5-sized doujinshi and 24 pages including the covers. It makes use of the inside covers for the table of contents in the front and the postscript by U10 in the back. As a result, U10folio features an uninterrupted 20 pages of illustrations.
The order and sections for the illustrations areVocaloid, Perfume, and finally Original. Vocaloid has five pages of illustrations, with two of them featuring a spread. Perfume has four pages of illustrations. They each feature the girls in different fashions and have a polished look.
It’s obvious from even this brief glimpse into U10’s illustrations that fashion is an important factor in his works. The designs are very realistic with color palettes that you would expect to see on girls in real life. The characters accessorize, wear fashionable shoes and in general have looks and haircuts that aren’t exaggerated. This is especially apparent in his selection of Original illustrations.
U10folio does feel like something different from the usual style I expect from an anime or manga artist, but it still manages to fit into that genre. At the same time it’s attractive, but nothing really jumps out at me aside from cool clothing styles worn by the girls.
