◆ September 2019 GIGAZINE Manga Award Top Illustration
Kiiri- san received the top illustrations for September 2019. A full moon and a cute rabbit ear girl that shines brightly in the night sky. The moon is beautiful, “Juya Night”, 2019 is September 13th.



Mr. Kiiri also commented.

Nice to meet you, my name is Kiiri.
This time I was in charge of the top illustration of the GIGAZINE Manga Grand Prix September. Thank you very much.
I usually draw character designs and illustrations of my favorite works.
I am practicing while searching for various patterns so that I can draw from men to women.



Below is the illustration making.

Kiiri “I have proposed 3 rough drafts this time. I was conscious of the fact that September, but I tried to create a rough with a different image, including the target audience for each of the 3 points.”

Kiiri: The first point was drawn with a soft image of an autumn and cute fantasy world without deciding a particularly strong image. Two mysterious tribal girls living in the forest are making stews in a large pot. It felt like a picture book illustration. ''



Kiiri: From the second point, we decided on themes “Higan Hana” and “Otsukimi”, respectively. The two points are easy-to-follow illustrations. ''

Kiiri: I wanted to create an atmosphere opposite to that of the first point, so the illustrations of men and women are basically a low-tone illustration except for the red color. It was an illustration of a slightly darker image that I'll give you. ''



Kiiri “The third point is an anthropomorphic illustration of the twins of the rabbits on the moon. It is an image that two people are going to get together in the future. Simple but easy-to-understand points with moon and mistletoe Because there are many, I think that the September quality is easy to convey. ''



Of the three rough drafts, the moon and rabbit girl illustrations that are easy to understand even when viewed on a small screen have been adopted. In addition to requesting corrections as shown in the image, change to a landscape composition that conveys the appeal of the composition.



Rough after correction. I think it's easier to understand the beautiful scenery and the cuteness of bouncing.



Kiiri: At the line drawing stage, we basically draw in black, and later change the color to match the color. We will draw carefully over time to make the painting process easier. Only the line drawing of the moon draws the outline of the moon behind it because the person and the background layer are separated. ''



Kiiri “After painting the layers for each color and applying the undercoat, the entire painting will be applied. At this time, the color of the line drawing will also be changed according to the application. The background is a rough illustration of the flow of stars in the night sky and the moon is conspicuous.



Kiiri “Finally, the shadows will be blurred with a cold color with low saturation, and the process of shining in the night sky and shining people will be added with effects and effects. If you adjust the details that you noticed while working, it will be completed. Thank you! ”
