Geared-Up, 2024

I am Lira Ishida, a concept artist and character designer from Tokyo. My recent project delves into a male interpretation of the well-known “Armed High School Girls” theme prevalent in military and cosplay circles. I have produced an artbook showcasing high school boys in military attire, exploring how this traditionally female-focused theme can be adapted for male characters. This endeavor merges my passions for concept art and cosplay. I trust you will find the concept and artwork captivating.
