More and more saitom characters are coming into being, and the Usada family has been gathering attention through the new merchandises. I guess most of you are not interested in the family name itself but have you ever wondered how saitom named it or why the name? CAUTION! This post is nothing but my speculation that is not based on the info available for now. So please do not take it too seriously.
A doujin illustrator saitom said on twitter that his account reached 150,000 followers, and here’s the tweet: フォロワー15万ありがとうございます。今度何か描きます。 — saitom@日曜日西れ46a (@_saitom_) August 4, 2019 “Thank you for 150,000 follows! I’m gonna draw something one of these days.“
Tapestry of Mage from Bikini Warriors!!!
Another saitom tapestry for TORANOANA. “Saitom Illustration works” is his first artwork collection, which came out in February 2018. You can get it on any e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Rakuten and you name it. This post is about the B2 tapestry for the book available on TORANOANA only. On a side note, I didn’t know it existed until I bought two, fair enough.
Wonder Festival 2019 Summer took place on August 28. SKYTUBE, Native, and Aquamarine unveiled samples and commissions of saitom original characters, so from here I compile the information.
A figure manufacturer SKYTUBE tweeted as follows today: WF設営大体完了…！ pic.twitter.com/HTuPW1vk6B — スカイチューブ@WF1-02-01 (@skytube777) July 27, 2019 This tweet is notifying us that the company has set up a booth for Summer Wonder Festival 2019 held tomorrow. And check out the poster hung on the right end of the wall. Yes, it’s Mimi Usada! Yipee! I’m pretty sure SKYTUBE has got her figure statue commissioned, following her sister Yuu Usada! I hope they will do justice to her face, unlike her elderly sister. Commission Confirmed!
【本日受注開始】【宇佐田 ゆう Pink Ver. illustration by saitom】 いろんなアングルからのショットをどうぞー。あふれる躍動感… (*´>ω<`) pic.twitter.com/kTLVSSUBhV — スカイチューブ@WF1-02-01 (@skytube777) July 23, 2019 Yuu Usada comes back in another color! SKYTUBE is now ready to take preorders of “Yuu Usada Pink Ver. illustration by saitom“! The price is 15,800 JPY (tax excluded), and it’s going to be out in January 2020. Her bikini looks like the one her sister, Mimi is wearing. I wish I would get her as a figure someday, too.⇒ It came true too soon. This figure is not exclusive to SKYTUBE online-shopping, so some other stores such as Amiami also are taking orders. Here’s my review for Yuu Usada in normal ver.
An adorable bunny girl will make the walls more fantastic! Make sure of some space for her!! This is Mimi Usada, a new tapestry presented by saitom!
I’m surprised there are quite a few bonuses coming with Doujinshi; sometimes different stores have different rewards, sometimes they’re exclusive for a venue, and other time you’ll be required to buy it together with its doujinshi. I’ve been collecting saitom goods since C95, and to be more precise, greatly influenced by Xenoblade Chronicles 2. So I decided to write a post about what you can get from ‘DF’ purchase. For those interested in saitom like me, this post goes into detail about the related items.
What is “Queen’s Blade”? Queen’s Blade is an anime that centers on beautiful hot chicks and women originating from visual books published before the anime adaptation. Most of the character designers were famous for their artworks, especially of hentai doujinshi, manga or something like that. What I’m showing you now is “Maso-kenki Kaguya pillowcase,” which is based on Kaguya from Queen’s Blade Grimoire and its OVA; she is designed and illustrated by saitom, aka Saito Masatsugu.
