Ero Artists and Circles
Caring and sharing member Quen lists up quite a few links for the health conscious.
Also saw an item from Jacob on Otaku.fm on how hes enhanced the online viewing experience of the doujins - check it out but only for the NSFW.
Nisemidi is probably my fave artist out of this bunch. As for the illustration - Miyuki.
Original text from Quen below.
I keep trying to come up with a list of my favorite providers of health care material / modern Japanese visual artbooks ( ^^;), but since there are so many artists/groups that I truly enjoy I always keep quitting midthought. Some names do keep popping up, mostly artists I've been reading for years and whose new releases make me go googly-eyed until I can get a copy of it. Might as well jot some of them down here for those who may not be too familiar with doujinshi artists and have yet to been introduced to some of these great artists.
I'm pretty familiar with the doujinshi scene, but there might be a handful of good artists I've missed out, so any new names would be welcome!
Here are some of my favorite doujinshi artists, in no particular order. I've only included doujinshi artists since doujin is still the focal point of my Ero hobbies after all these years, but there certainly are a ton of great artists I enjoy in Ero-Manga and Eroges that I left out.
Practically all these guys have entries at http://www.fakku.net , although far from their complete/best works.
Nakayohi Mogudan 「なかよひモグダン」 http://rinrin.saiin.net/~ayanami00/
Loved the full-color Ayanami Gakusei since I first read it years ago, and it's still ongoing! Probably longest running doujin series out there if I'm not mistaken? Massively kyonyuu and voluptuous style, sort of like GUST, but drawn in a more finely elegant style. If he would make even one drawing of Asuka drawn in his style I might die of joy ^^
Only a few of his works @ http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?artist=Nakayohi+Mogudan
Nekomataya 「ねこまたなおみ」 aka: ねこまた屋 http://nekomataya.net/
By far my favorite Naruto hentai, Nekomataya's Sakura is pleasingly busty, although the the 2 Genshiken doujin's depiction of loli Ogiue looks just as good.
http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?search=nekomataya
Gust http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~gust/
Kyonyuu Negima girls! Never seen anything but Negima from this guy, but there's like 20 different ones out there. Must really like Negima. Enjoyably dirty stories with school boy+girls sekkusu club activities are a big plus for me ^^
http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?artist=GUST
Tony Taka aka: T2 aka: T2 Art Works http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/taka_tony/
No intro needed, I'm sure most everyone knows Tony for his doujin/eroge works already. Latest Macross Frontier doujin is a winner for me, plus it has a huge illustration section of girls from random animes that goes on forever.
http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?artist=T2+Art+Works%2C+Tony+Taka
NiseMIDI 「偽MIDI」 aka: Ishikei http://bupo.jp/ishikei/
Aside from Tony, Ishikei's work is probably the best quality doujin art here. Master of drawing super detailed oppai. Simply gorgeous.
Check out Higiira, featuring Kagami! http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?view=1448
St. Rio 「聖リオ」
One of my oldest favorites, St. Rio's artwork is actually rather poor. It's the down-right lewdness and dirtyness of the stories, and an obsession with nakadashi that makes me adore these works. New Sekirei doujins recently came out, although my favorities are still the old Evangelion "Hi-energy" and Love Hina "Love Dasi" books.
http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?artist=St.+Rio
Black Dog 「ぶらっくどっぐ」
Black Dog's been making an endless stream of Sailor Moon doujins since somewhere in the 90s, and I've adored his work since. One of the first doujin-ka I ever learned of, his style has really been honed this decade compared to his older works. Master of train chikan ^^;
Burning Down the House (Sailor Moon) http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?view=2280
Man in the Mirror (Lucky Star) http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?view=2408
Nakayohi Izurumi 「なかよひ」 aka 「いづるみ」 http://www.sippo.jp/nakayohi.html
His Asuka themed A series finished last year with "A-seven", after nearly a decade. I wish it could have gone on a couple more years...
Similar to Mogudan's style but with much skinnier/flatter girls. Being such an Asuka fan, I can't help but gobble up his many Asuka doujins out there, and getting to go to the booth where his stuff was being sold at was the highpoint of my first time to the Comiket in 2003. Ah...
http://www.fakku.net/manga.php?artist=Izurumi
Pic is of Higiira by NiseMIDI, slightly edited by me. Forgive me Ishikei ^^

I really love Suzuhira Hiro's artworks. Next are Carnelian, Kusukusu (Palette), Mikeou (Pink Chuchu/Marmalade), Murakami Suigun, Tasuku Iizuki, Moekibara Fumitake (Lump of Sugar) and Tenmaso (Whirlpool). I think nearly all of them do eroge artwork which is where I find out about them XD
Doujinshi artist I like are Onizuki Aruchu (Udon-ya), Mugenkidou and St Rio. I don't really read that much doujinshi though they usually don't have much of a storyline. Eroge's more my type of thing =P

Never liked Ishikei myself, his faces look to weird, like they all have down syndrome or something... not very sexy IMO (and I really hope the rumor that he's going to take over the art part of the HiMM manga is false...)
Anyway, aside from Tony (who really needs to work on his hands and feet >.>) one of the more well-known artists I really like is Takamichi: Really soft art-style and has roughly the same taste in girls (appearance-wise) as I do, which helps >.>
Naruko Hanaharu is godly too. He (She? I've heard rumors...) is pretty much at the same level as Tony art-wise but doesn't mess up with hands and whatnot =D Not to mention his short-doujins are typically the sweet consensual kind, which is very rare in H and also happens to be the only kind I like...
Lastly there's Happoubi Jin, one of the few H artists out there who isn't afraid of giving his girls some meat. Women aren't supposed to be sticks...
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Naruko Hanaharu has some lovely art out there also, just not very much so I'm not too familiar with it.
Happoubi Jin 's Boin is very nice, thanks for reminding me ;)
student /aspiring mangaka /doujinshi collector /100% pinoy
Well my top three artists are ... of course T2 art works, next Tukimi Daifuku or is it Tsukimi? anyways lastly is Circle Digital Lover artist Yuka Nakajima. Gotta love her Ragnarok Doujins and some Fate ones.
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Tukimi Daifuku is the way its spelled on some of his doujins. Nihon-shiki style of romanization makes my eyes bleed tho!
His waterwork activities are a turn-on ( ^^:), and the large plump eyes are quite nice.
Never seen Circle Digital, will look into that
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Hah, try typing in Digital Lover online and a bunch of already visited links come back. :p
Guess I have seen it!
student /aspiring mangaka /doujinshi collector /100% pinoy
No... I mean Digital Lover is the name of the circle and their main artist is Yuka Nakajima.

You, sir, has just helped me identify the artists of some of my favorite h-doujins! I am in your debt x_x
Nakayohi Mogudan, Tony Taka, GUST and Ishikei are also my favorite. Adding to the list is Inazuma, the guy who (I think) did "Highschool of the Dead" and many others who I am not familiar with x_x
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Inazuma is awesome, one of many that I left out. Just bought one of his PreCure books at NYAF last month. "Karen 100shiki" "Karen Hundred style”"Karen Hyaku-shiki"「カレン１００式」- weird ass title.Really like the 2nd part where the 2 schoolgirls go to a gaijin bar for milk-hunting ^^

Wow, excellent post. All of the artists you mentioned also happen to be at the top of my favorites list. :p I would say my absolute favorite artist is 偽MIDI, followed by Tony Taka.
working to pay for figures etc.
http://spacejunq.deviantart.com/
Great article. Ishikei is a fabulous artist. I admire Mogudan but there is soething strange about the anatomy he draws! Tony Taka, yes. These three are pros though - there are a lot of doujin-only artists who may just produce one book, it pays to keep searching and looking for new stuff!
preoccupied staffer
one thing i admired most is Satoshi Urushihara whom i know he published some ero from Big Robot show's heroines to Haruhi,Masamune Shirow and Kou Kawarajima who shares some resemblace to Urushihara's.Although these talented people's works are hard to find.Luckily,i manage to hold on Shirow's and Urushihara's
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Urushihara's stuff is quite nice, especially cute with a good eye to detail.
Masamune's image of Motoko was actually the very first Otaku-related image I saw in my life, years and years ago. Obviously had an influence on me ;)

Great recomendations, thank you. Personally, I also like Shunya Yamashita works, hope made more ero-works someday
student
I really like the art of Tony Taka, Hiro Suzuhira, Aoi Nishimata, Naruko Hanaharu, Peko and Ryohka.
Satoshi Urushihara has also been one of my favourites. Though I prefer his older works.
Gust drew a Noir doujin a while before he started with Negima.
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Hiro Suzuhira's stuff is very moe, I like.
student / NEET
T2 for arts, not that arousing IMO, his drawing are too pure to be used =_=
onitsuki aruchu
naruka hanaharu
kisaragi gunma
these ppl doesn't make much doujin tho, more like ero-manga in a magazine
but still
and i dun really like C-D boobs =.=, not much ppl into DFC eh...
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Kisaragi gunmda is another one I had to skip, his famous "Love Selection" manga anthology is splendid!
Also recently just came out in a ero-anime that's pretty good.
Love Selection (could only find scanlation on fakku) Ch1 http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?view=182
Love Section The Animation torrents search: http://www.tokyotosho.com/search.php?terms=Love+selection&type=0
Seriously get Love Selection guys ^^
former Emperor of Britannia
http://reflectiarx.wordpress.com/
Mine is:
Ishikei(NiseMIDI), Tony Taka (T2),Kisaragi Gunma(famous for Love Selection,Giri Giri Sisters and Mai Favorite), and the artist who made Hatsu Inu (Circle: Inu, Titles such as Strange Kind of Women, Black Cat) but im more inspired on the Hatsu Inu since the art was indeed simple but it had impact and Ishikei's works since his detail presentation on art is really amazing especially on the inseiiroiro series.(got the complete one)
aside from those i can include the one that made the following:
Life is Peachy
Maid Bride
DL Action Series (got an almost complete file of this)
Talk about providing sauce for doujinshi hunters lol~!
former Emperor of Britannia
http://reflectiarx.wordpress.com/
I forgot to add the following:
Hanfuda by Okama
and
Ino Makoto (Ino Artworks Velvet Skin etc.)
did i jsut reveal my whole collection list? Nope not yet lolz
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Hatsu Inu is nice, good DLs for vols. 1-2 here: http://forum.nihonomaru.com/trashimaru/49107-hatsu-inu-vol-1-and-2-strange-kind-woman.html
Maid Bride is by Onizuka Aruchu [鬼月あるちゅ]
Very sexy kyonyuu maid art.
This torrent should work, tested it and seeing 2 seeders: http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84529
Was so hard trying to find a non-scanlated version, jeez!

btw nice topic here, I'll be sure to check every now and then ^^
Akamatsu ftw!
Hanaharu, Gunma, Yug, the guy behind "Take on me", and the artist behind "kaufun shojou" are also awesome, but for mainstream, sfw, ecchi - akamatsu ftw.

Everyone's got similar tastes! One artist who wasn't mentioned that is a personal fave of mine is Shiwasu no Okina. His art style and scenarios never disappoint. Check him out.
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
http://forum.nihonomaru.com/doujinshi-archive/2136-shiwasu-no-okina-collection.html
Looks good, art isn't great but it does have a likeable, style that reminds me of early 90s H, and scenarios are fun
???Confused???
Hm Mogudan and T2 are the only two I recognize from the list and the others are nice too...others I like are Inazuma, Kotoyoshi Yumisuke, and Linda...thanks for the recommendation...

Nice list~ Should I be ashamed for knowing most of those doujin circles...?
College Student
I like using this site: http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/ to help identify circles to books, or to get a quick lookup on the Japanese title. I know I have some favorite circles, but mind's too fuzzy this late at night to remember a lot of them. I like SION's Zero no Tsukaima books, Tololi, Daitoutaku (occasionally), and definitely Toraya. Oh! and .bolze.
I do remember I dislike Gust. Their books all feel like rehashes with the same poses and the same expressions and body types reused over and over.

I was hoping Danny would reveal himself to be a huge fan of guro/BDSM/scat or something livid, but Ishikei and Miyuki are still great picks :P

Or she does have eyes like Mikuru?
