u/Dense-Material-5048

This time the first half of my artist-specific collections. Included in this batch are:

1. Nilitsu - mostly Vtuber stuff
2. Hong - mix of Granblue Fantasy, FGO and Vtuber
3. LAM - all FGO (not included in their artbook)
4. Krenz - Taiwanese artist, mostly original stuff, wide range of styles
5. Lack - mostly FGO, some Vtuber
6. ASK - personal favourite - also Taiwanese (I think), mix of original and fan art - their stuff is quite hard to find, especially older releases

As requested a closer look at the FGO doujinshi 'Replica;' by character designer/illustrator Mieko Hosoi (posted her artbook a few months ago). Since this is for the Camelot Singularity (Mieko Hosoi did the character designs for the anime adaptation) you don't see the usual fan-favourite characters which is a nice change. It's very short (what you see here is pretty much it) but the art is pretty.

First commercial artbook by artist AU. Very little Fate/Grand Order but nothing from their doujinshi like Anathema, which I posted a while back. Good for me, a bummer for others I guess.

You get full-page illustrations, sketch art, character/costume designs and a handful of short manga (about 5-6 pages each) which probably are just samples or chapters of longer works. While the content is a bit random the art is still gorgeous.

Release: 04/30/2026, 3000 Yen, ISBN 978-4-768331-43-9

Vol.2 is all about the Fate franchise. It's mostly Fate/Grand Order which I am a little obsessed with even though I never played it much. I really like when different artists reinterpret well-known characters in their own style or seeing those characters in unusual situations. These are all from artists I'm not usually collecting so there will be more FGO in artist-specific collections and there was already in the artbooks post.

The title pretty much says it all. Random buy but turned out pretty good. This is actually only vol.1. There are 2 more which I am currently looking for.
