Someone actually got that NSFW/bootytastic fanart of Momohime (from Muramasa: The Demon Blade) and her Yakuza-style tattoos inked on their arm. This is crazy.

Alter’s Momohime figure, photographed by Colette Bennett of Tomopop. This is just one of a series of really nice photos of the far-too-expensive figure of Muramasa’s heroine. I appreciate both the photography and the chance to look at one of these in detail without dropping insane money.

Muramasa’s Kongiku, painted by Vanillaware artist (and Habanero-tan creator) Shigatake. Not only is it notable to have one Vanillaware artist contribute his take on the work of Vanillaware head George Kamitani, this piece is notable for another reason: it was created using DSiWare’s Art Academy!

In fact, it was actually made using two DS games. First, Shigatake drew Kongiku in WarioWare DIY. He then took a picture of a screen displaying that image with the DSi camera, and, using that as a template, drew over it in Art Academy’s “free paint” mode. If you’d like to see the all-DS drawing process for yourself, there’s a video at Nico Nico.

“Oboro Muramasa” by Simosi. This fanart is just jaw-droppingly gorgeous! It looks very reminiscent of official Vanillaware art, but with a different shading technique or something.

If you think that style is nice, but wasted on dynamic group shots instead of pictures of inari Kongiku with her top off, well, here you go (NSFW, obviously!)

“Shizanketsuga” (“Fierce Battle”) by Chinggis. It’s bound to be a bit slow around the internet today, so what better time to check up on the current state of the Muramasa fanart scene? I’ll probably stop doing this after the new year, unless I don’t.

It’s in a pretty mindblowingly good state at the moment, it would appear. Even though the game came out several months earlier in Japan than it did in North America, some talented Japanese fans have yet to tire of its setting and characters!

“Sakura” by J. Will Muramasa ever stop inspiring fan artists to create beautiful work? For the sake of everyone looking for Tiny Cartridge material at 3AM, I certainly hope not.

Kumatanchi wallpaper. To break up all the Muramasa artwork I post, here’s some official art from a previous Vanillaware game, which is basically about some kind of hybrid bear/moe girl who lives in a zoo/house or something.

Gameplay involves practicing and performing for patrons, interacting with other animal things, and, of course, outfitting Kumatan’s house. There is definitely something about this game that makes me really uncomfortable. Luckily, it’s not found in the cute artwork.

“Insight” by Mashiko, featuring a sort of feminine Kisuke. I don’t know what compels me to continue posting Muramasa fanart, except my god look at it. This game is basically the best thing to happen to fanart.

Buy: Muramasa: The Demon Blade ($46.99)
