Momoco – Arietta (Genkosha, 2020) – My Comment
The artbook titled arietta by Momoco features artwork depicting female characters from series, projects, and games. Such as Akugyaku Kishidan: Sono Elf, Kyoubou ni Tsuki, Bullet Girls Phantasia, Fate/Grand Order, Fate/Stay Night, Kanpani Girls, Last Embryo, Onsen Musume, Oshiego ni Kyouhakusareru no wa Hanzai desu ka?, Utawarerumono: Lost Flag and original illustrations. It counts 176 pages in A4 size and was printed on high quality, thick paper. When you wade through all the illustrations, you’ll see Momoco give a fairly comprehensive explanation of the process of creating his drawings. At the very end you’ll find a table of contents with the sources/origins of the designs on each page.
Personally, I’ve been following Momoco on pixiv for quite some time now. I really like the level of detail (including shading) he shows in his artworks. Literally every page of this artbook contains beautiful drawings that are just incredibly enjoyable to look at.
Arietta as usual – is wrapped in a high quality color wrapper and additional obi. The cover price is ¥3000 and that’s exactly how much you can still buy this artbook for. For example, on Amazon in Japan, which offers quite cheap courier shipping. DHL to be precise, which delivers the package to reach our days usually in about 4 working days, at least in Europe).
I definitely recommend this artbook to any collector and fans of Momoco’s style.
