Scan: Ryohka’s icon. 02
Continuing from the previous release of icon. 01, here is icon. 02, released during summer in 2007, which should correspond with C72. There is one year difference between the 2 doujinshi.However, adverted eyes will easily see a huge improvement in artstyle.
A side note concerning the previews, they are all watermarked because of direct linking. The archive remains non watermarked of course; I hate watermark with a passion. Also, it’s quite an ecchi doujin, you are warned. Not every scan will be featured in this post. [PNG]
Arstyle improves over time with all artist; but the short time frame in which Ryohka improved is quite incredible. Maybe icon. 01 just featured older illustration. icon. 02 features the signed eyes of Ryohka, easily recognizable with the darker part poking inside the lighter bottom. In fact, Ryohka got some awesome fan on Pixiv, Kwasabiyori00D also known as caidychen, who certainly copied from him. Well, the Pixiv profile says all.
The doujinshi starts with a nice sexy illustration, and then we have some artwork from Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka. I’m more interested in original art than the one from that eroge. Now I will just keep the lingerie scans, and the, err, pantsu down image ( nothing visible, but it’s already quite NSFW ). On the image of Minato… you can also see that my page is torn on the right… This is really upsetting :/ Nothing I can’t fix in Photoshop but still.
Who says summer, says mizugi, and the rest of the book is mostly mizugi. Lots of school mizugi. The illustrations are older and date back from 2006 or older. In 2006, Ryohka didn’t have his eyes style yet; and while they were good, they still seems a bit generic.
I just skipped the 2 guests illustrations which are bad in my opinion and ended with these 2 images. That chibi is lovely cute; and in fact, the cover girl is my favorite illustration. Artstyle is just better and definite than the other illustrations in the book. I hope there will be an icon. 03 one day, like during C77 ^^
PS: I’m getting faster at writing these posts.
Nice one
The older stuff really does have a very generic look to it, with the opening illustrations are a more like a preview of things to come.
I really hesitate when buying older doujins, because I never know if the art will be too dissimilar from the artist’s current style. Good to see Ryohka keeps the style more or less consistent.
These illustrations are really cute and sweet. I love the first. Maybe one day, I will buy doujin and artook
This day, I shall be ruined xD
Thanks for the scans Merun! ^^
Personally am prone to like Ryohka’s more recent style.
Thank you!
My favorite picture from Ryohka is the one from this cover. I love it. If his style were always like this, I’d be delighted.
It’s nice indeed, and Caidychen is also getting quite good. It’s good to see artists improve with time, right? I hope we can improve too.
