For years I have actively searched through the internet for anime art to adore. After creating a large collection of my favorite artists, I decided it could be nice to share.
In America, I feel that much of the anime fandom neglects the artists and their style and pays more attention to the characters -- often paying no respect to the artist/source even if they like it. As an artist myself, this makes me pretty upset. I made this blog hoping to change that around.
You can call me Miq,
Enjoy the artists, here at Anime Clay.
I thought I had asgr (or あさぎり) figured out — dark, machine-horror, with lots of black, orange, and red. They have proven me wrong.
Asgr is defining a new aesthetic not only for their own art but for the entire genre. I don’t know exactly what to call it, but it is still on the darker-side… just without as much darkness anymore. Futuristic machinery is still a pretty important part of each piece, but it isn’t exactly serving the same role anymore. Their new color scheme that involves a lot more white/off-white, as well as bits of blue, is working extremely well with the style, and is also giving some nice contrast to their past work which used a lot more black. And their intricate details and rich textures are as beautiful as ever.
UPDATE: Thanks to some of you, asgr’s new Pixiv has been located, as well as their Tumblr. (also, I switched one of the images for a newer one)
