Artist: Sana Takeda

My first post will be on a new artist I just discovered recently. I have not been able to find much information or background on her, since she has only recent delved in the English speaking part of the world. Sana Takeda was a 2d game designer in Japan and developed her drawing skills while working there. Only recently has her drawing talent been recognized in the comic book industry, and specifically for me, in the recent side story comic of Soulfire. I, already being a fan of Michael Turner and his work, was not expecting to see this Japanese influenced art in one of their comics. However, I totally loved the art, and picked it up right away. There is no inking, and the lines are a little shaky, but the coloring and storytelling are very beautiful and rich. I look forward to see the upcoming issues. In the meantime, you can visit her website with more of her art:
