Sweet Dreams: Shunya Yamashita Illustrations

Information:

Description:

This book covers a lot of Shunya Yamashita's works.  Most of it are female characters & some of them are repeated throughout the book.  All of them are his past works with references as to where they came from.  The illustrations are in full colour.  No black & white here.  Most of the drawings are in soft watercolour like appearances. It's not very heavy & the colours are in a mixture of dull & bright depending on the drawings.  The lines aren't solid as you can see them breaking apart. 

There are some manga strips as well.  All of the drawings are Shunya's original works.  You may notice some female characters from the book in the form of PVC figurines.  The figurines actually came from this book or rather from Shunya's original works.  The artbook is geared towards an adult audience as it contains nudity & sexual poses.  There are no sexual acts involved, just poses.  There are no censorship in the book as there are no private parts shown.  Either way, this book is best kept in a safe place regardless on how nice the artwork is. 

Speaking of the artwork, the human body is drawn beautifully as Shunya is well known to drawn the human body well in terms of the proportions.  However, most people may find the female characters better drawn than the male ones even though the males are drawn well.  I think it's really about how people are attracted to the opposite gender as the main readers/owners would be males.

If you are a fan of Shunya Yamashita's works & like sexy nudity pose, this is a great book to own.  I personally strongly recommend owning this book if you can get it.  Shunya's work really drew me in to get this book in a heartbeat.  Plus, it was this book that turned me into his fan.
