You might not know Japanese illustrator NekoshowguN. But you damn well should.
The young artist first made her splash as part of the Osaka art collective Digmeout. Sheās done art for music games GuitarFreaks and DrumMania, but her highest profile work to date is lead character and weapon design for Goichi Sudaās upcoming hack-and-slash Lollipop Chainsaw

Her art is pulpy and glossy, covered in lipstick and blood. Thereās pure sex appeal mashed with pure terror.
āI loved video games since I was a kid,ā NekoshowguN recently told Kotaku. She grew up playing Mario and Zelda. āIām kind of stuck on recollections of meeting Nintendo characters. Surely, Iām not alone.ā
No, NekoshowguN, you are not.
