Mr. Yoshii is one of the most acclaimed
digital artists in Japan. He is a pioneer in the use of Corel Painter to
make digital images in the Japanese illustration world. He freelanced
as an illustrator and created various characters for major TV programs,
commercials, corporate websites, campaign and events. Yoshii specializes
in crystallizing characters for his clients’ needs with little
direction. “My three dimensional characters are created by a harmonious
combination of beauty, ludicrousness, and comicality. I love making my
virtual figures/characters from a scratch and developing them with
strong appearances. I am interested in making 3D animation and vinyl
figure/toys in near future.”
