Minase Lin Stardust -Development- 2 - 2

STAR DUST -Development- 2 is much like Minase Lin's first volume in layout and style, but it's nearly double the length of the original. It's a full color illustration book once again, though it does include some sketches.

Minase's STAR DUST -Development- 2 is B5-sized and 28-pages in length. The cover illustration is repeated inside, but with a slight change---the cover girl is smiling instead of surprised. The art work in this volume is pretty typical of Minase's style, almost bordering on generic.

There is some fan art to help it along, in particular a cute illustration of Rinko from Love Plus. Most of the illustrations are full-page, but there are also two pages of tiled-images near the center, followed by two artist's message pages.

Minase Lin's original designs look best when she adds a little creativity to the character, like cat ears, or elf ears, because it seems to inspire the artist to choose a different set-up for her illustrations. The book ends with a few two-page spreads, including a simple Touhou illustration featuring Alice Margatroid. All in all, I wasn't that impressed with the art work or presentation, and I probably wouldn't buy it if life had do-overs ^^;
