For those who asked, there's a couple of other Urishihara color pinup works at the end. They're pretty much forgettable, just like the rest of this magazine.
Urishihara is one of my favorite artists, hentai and non-hentai. What has always caught my eye about his work is his character and costume design. He manages to make women very naked while still wearing quite a bit of clothing. [Ragnarok anyone?] I have artbooks of his 90s work, which was all done on CELS, and in these his shading is very precise and vibrant. His work in them is very detailed, and his composition is breathtaking. I don't know what the hell happened to him recently, but maybe the lack of inspiration in this magazine was contagious, and he got a bad dose of it. Also, my favorite works of his are his fantasy ones, and nothing in this magazine falls under that.
I would ask any Urishihara critics to please look at his earlier works, especially Chirality, to get a glimpse of why he's earned a reputation as a great artist.
