Contemplating from afar

Released at C76, it’s the 5th doujinshi in the Dmyotic series… which is just collection of artwork by Dmyo. Even if it’s the 5th, it’s the first time I get anything from her, and it’s to my delight to see how awesome her art is on paper.
Scans here

Dmyo is a cute Korean artist, with megane and a cute cat. She recently gained some popularity with her doujinshi, Dmyotic which scans got spread on the internet. Otherwise, I have never heard of her, but it’s more or less the same for all Korean artist. Artstyle wise, it remind me a little bit of Nardack, another Korean artist. I guess it’s the lighting on the skin which makes it shiny, and the eyes.

First illustration start with a dark tone. Contrary to other illustration, the choice of color seems small, without much lighting. It’s so depressing that it’s fascinating, with the torn cloth and mate skin. Judging by the copyright, it might be a fanart of Shikabane Hime. ( sorry, can’t read japanese )

Then we get again the cover girl, with the back cover pose as well. Better said that the cover was what made me buy this doujin. Girls drinking water at a fountain is kinda sexy. The setting and simple design of the seifuku really puts forward her beauty. Also, a detail which is rarely drawn ( at lest to me ), the pink lips. I guess it’s because I usually don’t like the artstyle of the artist who usually draw lips. It just looks too real, and not moe. But here, it’s a must a have since the focus is on the face, and it looks so soft… hmm better stop and not talk about the legs because I might look like an obsessed ^^;.

There are still seifuku, more lips, and books which seems to be a love story between an octopus and a cat. That concludes the two pages illustration. I will try to remove the creases latter. It’s a time consuming process.

Then some fanart. I can easily recognise Higurashi and Aria, then the grey haired girl seems from an eroge but I’m clueless for the teddy bear one. And Aria shachou got blue lol.

And to finish, a two piece! I wish it was a stick poster. I really like it, but I guess I will have to do with this. I really like her choice of color. It’s contrasted and soft at the same time, with nice lighting. Also, the hair is not overly detailed, and have a nice flowing, which is fitting with the rest of the images. Oh and lastly, lips…

For a first contact with Dmyo, I’m really pleased with the doujin. I already liked the art based on scans of icie, but was rather hesitant to get the doujin. Now I wonder if I should get the older one…

As for the scan, it should be a lot better than the Pixiv one. It was binded by staples and I used a resolution of 1200dpi. It was processed at college for one whole hour while listening to the class xD. Some scan which are not in this post are in the archive, and there is a NSFW one.
