Miyama Hugin

Miyama Hugin's "Ai" from Her
Omoiomoutori Tumblr

I came to anime/manga late in life as my students introduced me to it in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

I like the great diversity in the art forms and prefer a little color as opposed to straight up black & white versions.

One of Lyrafay's posts introduced me to Miyama Hugin's art on Tumblr.

What I like best about the pieces selected here is the sense of movement, particularly the sense of water flowing. I also like the integration of the humanoid form with shapes found in nature.

Miyama Hugin's "Big Tree"

I find her pieces generate/reflect a great deal of emotion as the titles of the pieces attempt to articulate.

Miyama Hugin's "Silence" 

Miyama Hugin's "Empty"

Miyama Hugin's "---"

(I think the "spikey" one captures the inarticulate, inconsolable nature of grief/anger.")

I have, of course, selected the examples that most speak to me; however, she has a large portfolio available online to check out.

Some of her Other Works.
