Pre-Order Spark Now And Save 10%!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and with modern art I often think people have bad eyesight. Paintings of melting clocks or a vase of sunflowers just ain't that interesting to me. Luckily, there are plenty of illustrators that have embraced a long-standing formula of showcasing detailed, ecchi cute girls.
If you go to a big doujinshi event in Japan, you can witness the fervor of fans looking to get their hands on their next treasure. Just be careful where you wonder because those events are typically separated by fetish, and good lord some things can't be unseen.
It is easy to tell which artists are masters in their class. The length of the line of people lining up usually directly correlates to how good the product is. More beholders means more beauty in the world of illustrators.
One such artist, mignon (ミニョン), has carved out their own niche. They have become renowned for their ability to depict the human body, more specifically their emphasis on the stomach area. Their illustrations highlight the curves and textures of the skin, bringing a sense of realism and depth to characters that holds a special allure.
mignon doesn't stop at stomachs, they can also create characters which have great visual appeal. Their designs feature expressive faces and dynamic poses, which highlight and emphasize the female form. In the realm of bishoujo creators, mignon is among the top. In mignon’s first art book titled YUMMY TUMMY, an homage to the craft they have so meticulously perfected, you can find beautiful illustrations to drool over and make you want to eat up.
Adapting top tier art into a figure is tough work. Hobby Sakura was looking for a challenge so they took up the task. Thanks to some great shading and paint work, they brought mignon's creation to life!
Spark is an original character by mignon and fully portrays their style and genius. Spark is a blend of moe and cute with a splash of spunk. Twintails make everything a little bit cuter and here is no exception. The cool purple to white gradient blends seamlessly together.
Spark’s expression is adorable and the added blush is perfect. Her bright pink eyes and black hat provide good color contrast and helps keep the focus on her face. mignon's design of the long hair was also masterfully done. Effort was added to keep her face fully visible and showcase some lightning bolt earrings.
The outfit is an amazing portrayal of street wear. A mignon figure just wouldn't feel right if we didn't get some belly. The white crop top with laced up booty shorts keeps the tummy front and center. Hobby Sakura just some nice shading and detailed sculpt to give it an attractive and realistic look.
To further add appeal, mignon gave Spark a healthy thigh pinching accessory. This helps bring out a bit more color as your eye wanders down. The bright yellow shoes is a burst of freshness and the lightning theme fits the name.
The base is simple yet fun. Balancing atop a lightning bolt supported by chain links adds cohesion to the electric street wear motif.
The pose is dynamic with a great sense of movement. The way Spark's shirt fits to her body and flowing hair feels appropriate with the gentle pose.
If you want to bring a little Spark into your life, she is currently available for pre-order with an expected release in the middle of 2025. For those who absolutely love the design, Hobby Sakura is offering a deluxe edition which comes with a tapestry for all your home decorating needs.
