When you first see some of Japanese illustrator TAKOLEGS' work, you may wonder if your screen settings are too dark. The artist has developed a style in which characters are often enveloped in dark tones, so it can sometimes take a bit of adjustment, but this is also part of the art's charm. All it takes is a moment of attention to realize that the illustrations are full of gorgeous decorative details. TAKOLEGS is often inspired by traditional Japanese motifs, and has an incredible sense for composition.

With the artist's permission, we're introducing a few works here below:
