6 Pixiv Users Worth Following

In my first post, I showed you how to sign up for an account at Pixiv. Now that you hopefully have your own Pixiv membership, you are ready to start browsing through some of the most incredible CG artwork you'll ever see. While you can probably find a lot of good stuff through random clicking, you'll get more out of the site once you've been directed to some of Pixiv's most esteemed and talented users. This post is meant to introduce you to just a few of my own (and the Pixiv community's) personal favorite artists who reside there.

Mushimaro Tachikawa, otherwise known as "Bimo" on Pixiv, is a fantastic artist whose otherworldly digital paintings have been featured in video and trading card games by well known companies such as Broccoli and Taito. He even keeps in touch with the English speaking community via his DeviantArt account.

Capura L is best known for her stunning artwork of Touhou characters. Her breathtakingly magical images often feature a colorful, sweeping sky laden with flowing, luminescent flower petals and particles of glittering light.

Korean artist Dmyo's irresistably cute girl illustrations will make your heart ache with warmth. Sweet smiles, soft (yet bright) colors and round, jewel-toned eyes are perhaps what makes her characters so very lovely and inviting.

Nardack, another talented artist from Korea, paints vibrant, dreamy illustrations with romantic Fairy Tale settings that span the Globe. Her illustration series "Fantastic World" features colorful characters who reside in Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, and Italy, to name a few.

Sayori is an extremely well known and beloved Chinese Pixiv artist whose detailed, colorful moe illustrations have earned her a massive fan following throughout Asia. Sayori's special attention to cute, dainty details give her adorable lolita characters a double dose of sweetness and charm.

While he is not an illustrator of anime-styled characters, Ucchiey's epic vistas are a wonder to behold and should not be missed. The superbly detailed architecture, magical lands and exotic creatures which he portrays will literally take your breath away with their magestic beauty and unbelievable intricacy.

While there are literally thousands of talented artists worthy of admiration and praise currently on Pixiv, these are just a few select illustrators whose works of art show great persistence in both their quality and craftsmanship.
