I recently downloaded this off WinNY, but some bastard put a password on it. So, thanks.

Very nice artbook, but we won't be seeing any more:

Hiderou Horibe (36), a well-known artist in Japan, passed away on June 17th due to acute heart failure.

Horibe was in charge of illustrations for numerous games, his first-ever artbook, Yours ~ Horibe Hiderou ART WORKS, was released on 4/26, which contains cover artworks for Monthly PC Angel that Horibe did for over 10 years, illustrtions, comments, as well as Horibe's first manga series published in the 2006 issue of Comic Gum (which also happens to be his only series).

Yeah, he's dead. After downloading his artbook I went looking for more stuff, and found out he's dead. To confirm it, I checked his homepage, and it seems to be correct: ????????????????2006?6?17?(?)?????????36?br />?????????????????

Sucks. I've got several of his pictures on my computer, but never knew who'd drawn them until I got his name from the artbook. Wonder how a 36 year old can die from heart failure.

Dealt a shitty hand by fate, just like a high school athlete who keels over dead one day from a genetic heart defect.

Yeah, it's really a shame, when you read his interview at the end of this book, he has so much ahead of him. It's really sad he'll never get his term to shine now.

I consider him to be one of the best(and one of most underrated) around.

He's one of those few artist who doesn't go with all the typical super big eye loli emo bishi crap character designs we see in popular anime these days.

I wonder if big eye loli/bishi character is all we're gonna get from Japan now...

As you can see from all the cover he did through out the year, he kept his quality top notch in every one of them.

Very very sad that he's gone, at merly 36 years old, too. Be that a warning to all you late night workers/fappers. Take good care of your selfs.

As anime/manga art has evolved over time to become moe, it will eventually evolve to something else.

I sure hope you're right. I really miss the semi-moe/semi-realism(IE this guy) style we used to have back in the 90s. Stuffs I see these days (Ultra big eye moe + super sharp chin + super tiny mouth) are just down right trashy and cheap looking to me.
