Scan: Baby doll biscuit
Starting the C77 stack with Baby doll biscuit, a collaboration between Morinaga Korune and Okazaki Anko. I’m already familiar with Morinaga Korune, with her loli, lolita dress and overall cute style, but it’s my first time that I see Okazaki Anko. Baby doll biscuit is a 20 pages doujinshi, cover included, and has some high quality printing as I can’t see the screening with my bare eyes, but it might also be an effect of the paper which is grainy, so the processing in the end wasn’t easy. I still have some flaw in the scanning workflow but I should address them for the next release. [PNG]
The doujinshi start with a rather gratuitous pantsu shot. Schoolgirl getting their skirt stuck between their back and their bag is a rare sight ^^;. But this is the only pantsu shot featured in this book. Exactly one half of this book is filled with Morinaga Korune’s art, and the rest is of course Okazaki Anko’s.
We quickly get to Morinaga Korune’s strong point, lolita fashion. I really like lolita fashion, and I find her artstyle really cute. There isn’t a lot of illustration from her, mostly because there is already 2 pages spread. Page spread are usually annoying, but since it’s a thin doujinshi bound by staples, it’s less irritating than lets say, a big artbook.
The middle of the book shows the transition in artist. While the two artist are quite similar, there are small difference which hopefully allows us to distinguish who drew what. If you want to know: The difference is in the eyes, white reflection and shape. I have small preference for Morinaga Korune’s art which seems to be more polished.
In fact Okazaki Anko is more like an older version of Morinaga Korune’s style. With time it should improve. I have no problem with artist copying another as I think that they will always have their own style no matter how hard they try to copy, and in the end they will derivate it and find their own.
Unlike the first part, her half have some different theme, like bunny girl and miko. Less lolita fashion, which I won’t complain either as it’s still cute! You also have the feeling that there are more art since there are less page spread.
In fact the whole doujinshi is cute, so if you like cute stuff, lolita fashion, this is a really nice doujinshi to have. It’s still available at Toranoana for those interested.
They match well, I didn’t even think the preview images on Toranoana came from two different artists.
I was always under the impression that artists work together with similar styles for more commercial reasons; like being able to do the art work for multiple projects at the same time. Like with QP: Flapper, Ice & Choco and so on, they share the workload and probably get more work because of it with an in-demand style. That’s kind of part of it too, it’s that a style gets popular, and a style doesn’t have to come from the original artist. Just consider Fairy Tail and One Piece. Would Fairy Tail even be popular if they didn’t all look like One Piece characters? The world may never know.
If you consider eroge for instance, it makes sense to have a similar style so that the game have a consistent art style. As for Fairy Tail and One Piece, that’s a “what if” question so it’s all pure speculation from there.
Now there also some combination which aren’t exactly matching. Hinayuki Usa and Izumi Sakurazawa doesn’t really have a very identical artstyle, or Hinayuki Usa and Risa Miyath ( Risa Miyasu’s given romanji name ). Another combination even less matching is Hato Rami and Kaori Minakami. But these pairs are more limited to doujin circle where there is no need to have matching style in the creation unlike game.
