Toosaka Asagi – Sanctuaire (Hobby Japan, 2022) – My Comment
The artbook consists of 130 pages in A4 format. It was released in August 2022 by Hobby Japan at the price of ¥3000. The publication, Sanctuaire, showcases the works of Toosaka Asagi, featuring both her original characters and those from Fate/Grand Order. With a diverse portfolio, she has created numerous covers and illustrations for various light novels. Additionally, she has contributed to character designs in several anime and avatar projects for several VTubers.
The content is divided into two parts. First 110 pages display the artist’s works, while at the end, she shares her creative process through examples of her works. The last page includes a brief message to fans with her signature.
I can’t fault the print quality. All illustrations look phenomenal with excellent color saturation and contrast. Everything the author meticulously crafted is faithfully reflected on paper. Many pieces span nearly entire pages, and some, like Saber below, span across two pages.
Sanctuaire is worth having in your collection, even if you’re not familiar with the artist. Toosaka Asagi’s works stand out for their meticulous attention to detail, excellent shading, and a well-chosen color palette. It’s a feast for the eyes. Considering the very good print quality and paper, these impressions are further enhanced.
