We've had the pleasure of enjoying and introducing quite a few talented Japanese Twitter artists, including Avogado6, whose dark and twisted illustrations are guaranteed to leave you thinking, as well as Kubota, who draws gigantic animals comforting humans in their most trying times. Artist and anime fan Minadori Naya (@mina_naya), however, is impressing many on Twitter not with themes, but technique. Namely, these fantastic illustrations of characters from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica and Kantai Collection that appear to be 3D...but actually aren't!

Optical illusions and tricky 3D techniques aren't exactly new when it comes to art, but the combination of Naya's high quality illustrations and uncanny ability to make both characters and surroundings seem as if they are jumping off the canvas are almost too real too believe. So much so that you may need to look at the proof to accept it, since if anything, they appear impossibly flat!

Naya's artwork isn't all illusion-based, but you can follow on Twitter or Pixiv for some impressive illustrations nonetheless!
