LUU Brings Art to Life

We reported on the first Debukawa night back on August 18. That February event included a "Miss Fat Woman Contest", the results of which I'm sure we've all been wondering about. Well, the results are in! The June 14 entry of the event blog indicates that that a second Debukawa event was to be held on Halloween, and that the first "Miss Fat Woman Grand Prix" (ミスファットウーマングランプリ) was won by a woman named either "Atchan" or "Rei", and our oft-admired LUU was runner up.

Images of this event were not offered, but this does give me a chance to show off a recent find: Complete albums of several of beautiful LUU's CD-ROMs... All these albums and more are available for purchase from LUU herself at her blog. Several images from these have already been spread around the Web, but I will show a few I think have not been seen so often.
LUU as Cattleya
First, in her first opus, Oppai Maman (おっぱいママン; L001), LUU portrays the character Cattleya from Queen's Blade.
Cattleya
Though, for aesthetic reasons, I've intentionally chosen an image of LUU in a more disrobed state than the cartoon character usually is, here (I think), is an image of the original character for comparison. Note that all-natural LUU is able to compete with the cartoonist's exaggerated rendering of the female form.
LUU as Merfa
Second, from Madame LUU's second release, Perverted Carnival (背徳の謝肉祭 - Haitoku no shanikusai; L002), we see LUU as the character Merfa (or Melfa), again from Queen's Blade.
Merfa / Melfa
Here is the original character for comparison.
LUU as Manyu Chibusa
Fifth-- er, third, from her fifth album, Oppai wa seigi (おっぱいは正義; L005) in costume as the character Manyu Chibusa from Manyuu Hiken-Chou...

... and out of costume...
Manyu Chibusa
Here is the character for comparison. Note that though the artist portrays the character as quite solid, LUU nevertheless expands a bit on the artist's conception. Once again, I prefer LUU's rendition...
LUU as Elina
In her eighth album, Matatabi (またたび; L008), LUU returned to Queen's Blade portraying the character Elina, in...

...and flopping out of costume.
Elina
A comparison with the original character, above, shows that LUU's figure imposes a much more Wagnerian stateliness than the girlish figure designed by the artist. I prefer LUU's fleshy rendition to the artist's.
LUU as Mellona
And the final catch of this recent LUU treasure trove is from her ninth album, Buyo-pin (ぶよピン; L009), in which she takes another stab at Queen's Blade, portraying the character Mellona.
Mellona
The original Mellona seems to be much more girlish, than our mature, matronly LUU-san.
LUU as Mellona
I guess what I've learned from this little survey of LUU's cosplaying, compared with the original cartoons, is that I like women in the flesh rather than in crayon... After a full day's worth of cosplaying, what's a big, beautiful lady like LUU got to do? Take a shower! Let's all mentally dive right in and enjoy with her!
