The Other 10 Percent

Jun 28, 2013 19:21

 Thog's Iron Law of the Internet states that 90 percent of the images on the Web are porn. It's kind of a relief to discover someone on Pixiv whose art isn't pornographic and is also of decent quality. More interesting is that he's Korean and, apparently, not a professional illustrator although what he's put out would make a very convincing portfolio. I give you Anyan.







Anyan is also a military aviation buff which he riffs on in a manhwa[0] comic called Flight High School about a girl's high school where all the pupils are anthropomorphic military aircraft. The in-jokes come thick and fast -- Rafale-chan's inability to get anyone other than the French to date her, F-35B's expensive dietary habits, Tu-95's noisy intrusions into everybody else's affairs and so on. Well-drawn, funny and sharp, the occasional series is being scanlated by a military-manga group, /ak/ and can be found at Batoto.net among other places. I particularly like the fact that all of the reconnaissance aircraft girls wear glasses...

EDIT: here's a link to Anyan's own blog.

[0] Manhwa is Korean manga-style comics with a few differences from Japanese manga such as reading left-to-right.
