Extraordinary Digital Artworks of Kagaya + Wallpapers

Mar 25, 2010 30 Comments by Albert Lie

I have mentioned Kagaya at my previous blog – here. I always like Kagaya’s works because of his unique style of art. I used to use some of his works as my desktop wallpaper. I always wonder if I can make digital arts like him. If you notice, you’ll find that Kagaya loves to use stars on most of his artworks. Of course, on night artworks only! My favorite styles of Kagaya are his stars & flowers. You’ll find that his style of stars & flowers drawings are very nice. If you want to know more about Kagaya, visit his website – here. Or you can just read his short biography below.

Biography of Kagaya

A Japanese digital fine artist. Born in 1968, he has created artworks relating to the universe including CG animation pictures, digital prints, posters, illustrations for astronomical books and magazines. The main themes of his work are the universe, the blue planet, and humankind as a part of the universe – their dreams and yearnings. His artistry and scientific accuracy enable him to embody the beauty that integrates all the elements of the universe. His constellation pictures are made into jigsaw puzzles, which are gaining popularity around the world.

All artwork presented here are not wallpapers, only images. Previously, I was able to download some of his wallpapers, but it can’t be done now – I don’t know why. But we can still enjoy some of his works by visiting his website. All images here can’t be downloaded – unless you want to print screen the image and paste it into Adobe Photoshop & save it as your wallpaper. You can download some of them – here

When I was writing this post, I found a huge package of Kagaya’s wallpapers. You can download them by clicking button below. The size is quite large – 126.6 mb. While you are still downloading wallpapers, let’s just take a look at Kagaya’s artworks here!

Tranquil Night of Stars

Inspired by the beauty and lyricism of the season in Japan. You can enjoy a perfect spring by the grace of some pinky clouds along the road, plenty of petals flying in the air, innumerable blossoms in full bloom, and, above all, countless shining stars in the dark blue sky.

Starry Tales

Albert Lie’s note – These artworks represents some unique figures that widely known all over the world. From the top to bottom are Venus, Cassiopeia, Artemis, Phoenix, Vega, Kaguya, Pegasus & Andromeda. Each character has their own unique story and personality. On these artworks, Kagaya have tried to illustrate their image beautifully.

Venus – Morning Star

When the voices of gods go away in the heaven, There appears the golden light in the Eastern sky. The magnificent beam of light is overwhelming. Any soul will sigh with a fascination of the elegant figure. Love is blessed in the heaven by the goddess of eternal beauty, Venus. Taking off a veil for the dawn, she reflects her beautiful face really is on the surface of the lake.

Cassiopeia

The glorious queen of ancient Ethiopia. In the northern sky, She is destined to dream an everlasting dream, Sitting back in the picturesque chair of the five stars. In her maternal dream, Pretty Andoromeda may smile a lovely smile in the breeze Standing still in the flower garden overlooking the sea.

Artemis

Drawing the silver bow to the full, Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, is going to release a blessing arrow of light. If you want to have purity, Come on the hill, and you can have breeze from the moonbow. If you want to have a good hunting, Come in the woods, and you can have light from the moon.

Phoenix – Eternal Wings

The mythology tells: Phoenix, with beautifully shining feathers, on the last day of his life of five centuries, throws himself into the blazing fire. The painting tells: Phoenix, with brilliantly shining feathers, on the first day of his life for coming centuries, is just flying up into the blessing sky. You know why Phoenix is: The symbol of blaze, revival, resurrection, immortality and the sun.

Pegasus – Wings for Freedom

When he gallops on the ground, his hoof tracks will become fountains of artistic inspirations. When he flies in the sky, a rider on his back will be able to reach Heaven. The creature of intellect with strong white wings, born in the sea, is free to travel on the ground and in the sky like a swift wind, like a holy light.

Vega – Legend of the Milky Way

The Goddess of Weaving, a daughter of the great God of Hosts She does nothing but weaving having a passion concealed beneath Longing for her loved one, Altair, separated by the silver river Dreaming of their rendezvous just once a year at the night of waning moon.

Kaguya – From Japanese old tale “Bamboo-cutter Story”

She tells the old foster-parents who found her in a bamboo thicket and have brought her up with lots of love; “I am not a common human being in this world. I am a Moonian. I came down from the Moon as I was destined to. And now it’s time for me to return home. My compatriots are coming for me on the night of next Full Moon. I must go with them. I’ve been in sorrow since last spring to think that you will grieve over my leaving.”

Andromeda

Every morning when Eos, the goddess of dawn, with the rosy fingers, drops stars and dews on the silence, Princess Andromeda is cleansing herself alone in the lake. She prays, in the water as pure and clean as she, “May our home country be in peace.” Everything goes quietly, deeply and moderately, before the south-eastern wind, Euros, comes.
