kuktober 2020

Hello everyone! Though I always say, "How have you been?", What's up? Haha...yes.
By the way, from this October, I'm trying to draw the drawing series "kuktober" about the Austria-Hungary Empire (kuk means that kaiserliche und königliche Monarchie). This list is the lineup. The small training project for me has already started on my Instagram. I will keep to continue the series if I can during this Oct. (If I can)
Please check it ;-)!

My new wallpaper is

Hi everyone!

You know, recently we have to stay home as much as possible for the virus. if can't it by a type of working, we spend only a little time in the office. I've been managed to both jobs, an illustrator and an office worker. At last, my company president ordered us to temporary absence from work in last middle week, and I'm in home from last Thursday. It's so late choice, but that's better than nothing. 
As same almost people(?), now I could get to having a time than usual days. Though, just because I and almost artists got free time doesn't mean we can start creating right away. We are in invisible fear. First, it is important to stabilize mental and economic conditions in family, but also there are many things that we can't help yourself. There are many exceptions...Anyway, I hope all lives will be safe.

So (so??), I changed my PC wallpaper after so long. It's a photo which I took at the Museum of Military History in Vienna (HGM - Heeresgeschichtliches Museum) - That's my holy site :))! I wish to up my motivation for my art project by some historic images and documents.

What a thin waist size!

My original artbook on the web store

This is the book cover. Artwork by Kumiko Sakaki

Hello, everyone. Thank you for visiting my new uniform artwork page. 
Actually (you know?), I self-published my artbook "The Artwork for the Lost Empire Austria-Hungary" in last August. So I hid the series from here. 


So, I've already started my original book store on Booth. Please check my page :-)

(アンケート結果)オーストリア=ハンガリー帝国(制服)イラスト集に需要あります?

皆さま、こんに/こんばんは、さかきです。
昨日はアンケート「オーストリア=ハンガリー帝国(制服)アートブック(イラスト集)って需要あるでしょうか?」にお答え頂きありがとうございました!

ヨーロッパの歴史イラストレーション又は物語を制作するにあたり、当時の資料などを調べながら進めているのですが、関心のある時代が狭いようで広いため、しばらく1910年頃~1918年までのオーストリア=ハンガリー帝国(墺洪)に専念しようと決めました。そこで「自分の創作物に限らず、どれくらいの方が墺洪に興味を持っていらっしゃるのでしょうか?」という素朴な疑問がわきましたので、Twitterのアンケート機能を使って恐る恐る伺ってみることにしたのです。

Dear people who gave replies to me :-)

Dear people who gave replies to me,

Thank you for writing a praise and criticisms for articles about me mentioned in "Europeana blog" in last year. I would appreciate that you made time for me. I'm honored you see my creative side. Thank you so much.

My artworks aren't retro or decadence, it's a part of my research on the project.
Though I think some historians can understand this, even though the history fiction authors or artists live in modern times, when they make stories or draw artworks about other era, some materials are needed for history.

In order to reproduce how they spent at that time, also I check at their clothes which is included the military uniform. (Needless to say, with cultures.) In that sense, historical research may become "decadence which is sticking to the dead past".

If works freed from artists, it becomes an other thing. But It doesn't mean that I don't want to have a responsibility to artworks. I proud my work, but also it's good that there are many thoughts.

While I have respect to my motif, I would only carefully promote my projects at the own pace.

By the way......
Unfortunately, I'm not age enough to go on with passion like youths in 20s-30s years old. I'm sorry for making me misunderstand from my one of my photo that I'm a young girl, haha ;-)

Thinking to open a Twitter account for historian friends and BD sketch.

Hi everyone!


I'm thinking to open my Twitter account for historian friends or fan and history Illustrations or comics(BD or Graphic novel or Manga) lovers.

Recently, even though I added a note of caution on my Twitter profile that "my uniform artworks aren't included any political things and will never agree such thinking(I don't like Fa*cism, Na*ism, segr*gationist)", after some passing followers followed me from themselves, unilaterally blocked me.

Yes, this is a account for my illustration info and artworks, so also would show the uniform artwork, wouldn't this? If they will not read the info about my uniform artworks, please just passing!
So for this reason, I might open my history ID for my historians and historical creator, and history fan.

Thank you,
Kumiko Sakaki, an Illustrator.
