Belated to mention, I bought "Utahime" magazine (featuring GUST) with the comic book of Ar nosurge. Articles in this book are interesting since it describe private backgrounds of staffs in detail. One surprising point to me is that ntny-san is a junior high graduate, and Tsuchiya-san has a M.A. degree. They are working together on the same game, and moreover, Ion's costume became like that because Tsuchiya-san liked a fashion exposing shoulders, and ntny-san liked a fashion exposing the bellybutton. Oh, how interesting the video game industry is! By the way, I never knew Tsuchiya-san was such a heavy user of microcomputers who can be compared favorably with Mr. Iwata...It also reminded me of the time I used to play with PC-8801.
キャラクターデザインを勝ち取るアピールのために、ntnyさんが自費で制作したというポスター。
後に同じ構図のイラストが無印シェルノサージュのジャケットになりました。
（うたひめ2013年夏号／ワニマガジン社刊より）
To appeal for the competition of character design, ntny-san created this poster by his own money.
Later, an illustration with the same composition became the jacket of first original Ciel nosurge.
