Senri Kita

Senri Kita (北千里, Kita Senri) is a freelance illustrator and character designer previously hired by SNK before its bankruptcy. She is best known for her work in the Samurai Shodown series and the 2005-2007 entries in Nintendo's Fire Emblem series. Her official webpage is SCRIBBLE (くろまぐろ, Kuromaguru).

She usually doesn't ink her art, choosing to scan in the original pencil renders and digitally color them in Photoshop. The result is an aesthetically pleasing mesh of cross-hatchings and coloring with a characteristic feathered edge. Her characters are drawn with an original anime flair that's focused mainly in the fantasy genre.
