Hello and welcome back to Sheepish Dreams, giving you a daily dose of NSFW art inspiration! Today, we're looking at bold pieces bucking the hyperrealistic anime trend, drooling over some booty, and getting inspired by cel-shaded perfection. Let's dive in!

For our featured post today, we have Blemishine from Arknights, courtesy of Caffichai. Going in the complete opposite direction of hyperrealism, this piece is chock-full of personality, using multiple unusual techniques in anime/digital illustration.
The background texture resembles watercolor paper, and the gradient suggests a sunset. Blemishine pops out from the background through halftone, usually reserved for monochrome, but delightfully colored instead. Blemishine herself is rendered in a gorgeous pose, her hair free-flowing, shaded, and lit with simple cel-shading. Finally, breath clouds and a two-tone border outline tie the whole piece together, quite honestly delivering a final product that — in our opinion — outstrips many of the common hyperrealistic styles out there.
A bold deviation from the zeitgeist is just what's needed to inject fresh ideas into the anime-style art world. Please go check out Caffichai's links for more of their artwork!
