January Pinup (Kurokami Medaka)
A new year, and a new wave of pinups is on the way. Instead of sticking with the Smash girls theme, I'm moving on to highlighting some of my favorite blue-haired ladies -- and first up is Medaka, from the manga/anime series Medaka Box.
She's strong, confident, loves to show off her body, and has a body to show off. I have a thing for gals wearing men's button-up shirts (and nothing else), so here we are, lol. Hopefully you guys like her as much as I do.
This is the first time in a quite awhile that I've done a full pinup without using cel-shading. Instead, I painted in all the values by hand. I'm not 100% satisfied with the results, but it's something I'd like to keep working on, in tandem with my usual style.
Hope y'all had a great New Year -- I'll keep doing my best to make it a good one. Much love!

Damn, she's so hot, gorgeous work 😍😍😍😍😍
I do love a confident woman. How'd he talk her into wearing so much?
She looks so sinister! But in a great way!
oh, i was hoping for more smash girls, but this is great too!
I can definitely notice the difference in style of this one. Which is not a bad thing by any means, In fact, I very much enjoy this. It's always nice to see you try out new things. Great Job!
This is AMAZING! I love the shading on it! And I love medaka box!
I like the soft shading you did. Well done! Might check out the series she's from now.
Really digging the soft shading on this one, pretty cool to see you experimenting with new methods. Looking forward, as always, to see what you're gonna' do next. Wishing you the best in the new year Akai, can't wait to be introduced to some lovely blue-haired babes. Cheers!
I looks great, I think you did a good job.
