Every artist starts with an inspiration, but it’s difficult to see which century calls most powerfully to Kyounghwan Kim. His eclectic collection of darkly demonic divas, classic ladies from the old masters, and viciously combative anime angels form a tangled tapestry of many ages and aesthetics.

One compelling commonality in Mr. Kim’s work is the combination of bountiful bodies minimally restrained by fantastically fetishistic armor — both ancient and futuristic. These sensual women seem equally comfortable in the arts of warfare and seduction.

We await further research from Kyounghwan, to further explore the timeless beauty of his women of war.

With a flowing, anime-tinged aesthetic, Randis Albion applies his artistic gifts to a rich variety of gothic dystopias, alternate classical histories, and machine-based mythological marvels.

In Mr. Albion’s distorted visions, biomechanical mermaids writhe in murky solutions and radiant angels seduce the newly dead. The animalistic allure and insidious seduction of vampirism is also explored more than once though his works.

As long as you are prepared to experience the demonic with the beatific, there are many richly-textured treasures to be found within the walls of Randis’ Hyper-Dimensional Fortress.

As society creeps and lurches into the future, our understanding of the wonders and horrors to come adapts and changes. A wise man once said “The future isn’t what it used to be,” but The creative team of Embrio and Jaysin — founding members of DPI Studios — might just prove Mr. Berra wrong with their retro future world of chrome, mohawks and sexy anime warriors.

Embrio’s gift for drawing wasp-waisted beauties with a Mad Max flair for fashion, and Jaysin’s vibrant colors and silky-smooth tones creatively combine to paint a post-Apocalyptic paradise of sassy, sinuous cyberpunks and supernaturally shapely sorceresses.

However horrific the future may be, take comfort in the knowledge that the harbingers of our doom will have bountiful breasts, impossible abs and lusciously long legs. What a way to go!

With enough skill and patience, an artist can create a reasonable facsimile of the human body. Only the most gifted among them, however, can take the female form to impossibly outrageous proportions and simultaneously establish a style that evokes both amazement and arousal. Such is the skill and vision of Colors, the unusually named and mightily prolific modeler and animator, as seen at RGBabes.

His gallery is awash with outrageous images and interactive explorations and exploitations of busty, lusty women. A few of the lucky ones merely pose seductively for the camera, but most of these dreamy damsels are well and truly distressed by quivering alien tentacles, inquisitive robots and toothy alien monsters.

Should this abundance of animated amorous atrocity be insufficient, his latest works are available in a membership area. But based on the wealth of wickedness in his unpaid portfolio, his hidden works may very well melt your mind.

Doe-eyed damsels and cold, hard steel have never looked more beguiling than under the tender mercies of an old master of modern anime known simply as Kuratch!. While honoring the time-tested foundations of this noble cartoon art, he’s deftly applied the latest painterly techniques and cutting edge technology, earning a position at the pinnacle of his chosen genre.

The hybridization of painterly techniques, incredible detailing, and wild fantasy and science fiction themes is fully realized, and consistently appealing when executed by this exceptional artist.

It seems only fitting that tantalizingly twisted visions should emanate from an enigmatic artist known only as Alien1452. While it cannot be said that all of his characters are otherworldly oddities, even his mere mortals are strangely exotic and entirely enticing. It can easily be said, however, that most of the enigmatic Mr. 1452′s figures are far beyond the pale: Biomechanical beauties and steely sweeties abound.

Even if your tastes are somewhat more terrestrial, there are still plenty of seductive specimens of the female form to encounter at Alien 1452′s prolific portfolio.

As our world grows ever smaller, and far-flung cultures become more accessible than our neighbor next door, it is inevitable that exciting new artistic fusions will arise. Charlie Morrow’s alluring anthropomorphs and lithesome ladies exemplify this visual evolution. They are born of an intermingling of artistic stylings of eastern and western origin, as well as a few more modern flourishes and fetishes.

Time and again Charlie perfectly blends an enticing concoction of human and animal in various proportions, occasionally leaving only a subtle whisper of the beastly qualities he so clearly admires. Most of his stunning subjects, however, are more wildling than woman. All of these captivating creatures — whatever their makeup — are lush, full creations that command our attention and desire.

What single exceptional trait do settings in feudal Japan, colonized space, and ancient ruins share? Lean, muscular and incredibly dangerous women, if Tazio Bettin is to be believed. He presents an enticing and beautifully-formed argument, through the power of his sensual works of character art.

These lethal ladies are at once serene and passionate in their pursuits, which usually involve a blade, or the occasional sidearm. Many appear human, but others are clearly not of our world. None of these trivialities, however, diminish the beauty of Mr. Bettin’s powerful subjects.

A final word of warning: a few of these alternative illuminations of past, present, and future are as bloody as they are seductive. But isn’t that the way of the world?

When last we looked, Mr. Bettin’s website was empty. Feel free to visit an alternate gallery here.

The older aficionados among us will remember when anime only was a product of Japan. Should anyone still be clutching to this horribly dated misconception, a brief sample of Reinaldo Quintero‘s stunning work will quickly end all doubt that anime is truly a global movement.

A vivid imagination is a requirement for fantasy artists, but Jahi has exercised unequaled creativity in an often overlooked aspect of his characters: their pose. Elastic elves and flexible felinoids gracefully bend into impossible positions while retaining an arousing mixture of innocence and awareness.

With a compelling anime influence, Jahi-chan expertly depicts these anatomical anomalies in exquisite detail, constantly startling the viewer with established and original contortions. Even when these androgynous artisans are in relatively mundane stances, Their lithe forms easily convey both strength and flexibility: a powerful combination indeed.

Jahi has disappeared from the web, but a new artist named Yuni has magically appeared. Coincidence?

Should a westerner — exposed to an average amount of anime and manga — actually visit Japan, they would surely be disappointed by the near-total absence of schoolgirls in power armor wielding tremendous, lethal blades.

In addition to a wide variety of sexy women of his own design, Mr. Yamashita also pays tribute to many of the more vivacious videogame and anime femme fatales. Whether you prefer your scantily clad young women with or without fantasy weaponry, you’ll find every one of Shunya’s deadly creatures equal to the task of knocking you out with their looks alone.

If demons are your darkest desire, the Erotinomicon has documented the dastardly deeds of more than a few.

Many would say that cute anime babes and macabre gothic horror just don’t mix, but Phil Laskey makes a convincing argument to the contrary. Wielding a palate of pale pink skin, cold silver steel, and deep bloody reds, he confronts us with seductive, psychotic killers with an axe to grind — or the occasional chainsaw.

Don’t let the hypnotically large eyes and pretty pigtails fool you, these ladies are anything but innocent. In spite of their disarmingly attractive assets, they’d just a soon kill as kiss you. They’re angry at the world for robbing them of their innocence, and the world’s gonna pay!

But, perhaps these princesses of pain are just misunderstood, and are simply holding out for the right man. When their prince charming arrives, maybe they’ll lay down their weapons, and shower him with love and affection?

Somehow, I don’t think so.

Another website abandoned for a deviant art gallery? Just say “no”!

We’ve watched them parade around in outlandish, skin-tight costumes for so long, it should’ve been obvious that they were really just underwear perverts. Garrett Blair brings this argument home with stunning clarity and charm with his playful depictions of vivacious vigilantes and other bosomy beauties.

You’re certain to recognize many of these comicbook cuties, but they were never so quick to peel off their colorful tights and squeeze their massive mammaries in their original publications. Surely even unnaturally gifted women need their “alone” time… or a quiet, tender moment with other costumed crimefighters. Who are we to judge?

In addition to sassy, stacked supers, Garrett has also expertly expressed his love for hot goth chicks and naughty naked nuns… sometimes all at once. Whatever your pleasure, you’re certain to find a toon temptress to your liking!

Killer schoolgirls, sword-wielding supermodels, and mechanical maidens in disrepair are all the stuff of dark sexual fantasies — and the subjects of loving attention of a driven artist known simply as Hoon.

While these works have cartoon elements, only the cutest, most innocent pieces can be confused with mainstream anime. Nearly all are richer, darker affairs; detailed digital paintings mixed liberally with emotional depth and sinister undertones — and sexy, sexy women.

We may never know the person, but the dynamic artwork being produced by Hoon is unforgettable. Keep an eye on him and/or her. And if — by some horrible twist of fate or cruel aesthetic infirmity — you find Hoon’s work not to your liking, take solace in the shadowy cabal of talented illustrators known collectively as Mess Studios.

Appreciation for the female form is as old as art itself, but the modern pinup has always been founded in an enhanced, unreal incarnation of the fairer sex. It should then be no surprise to find Victor Rinaldi devoting so much of his time and talent to seductive, over-endowed comicbook, television and film heroines.

In addition to these pop-culture pretties, Mr Rinaldi also has flair for curvy cyber-sirens, often with enormous breasts that seem to strain the structural integrity of their intricately-detailed powered armor suits.

Not all of Victor’s subjects are rooted in fantasy, but they’re all so stunningly beautiful that you’re not likely to see anything like them in real life!
