"Delicious in Dungeon" Artwork

Cover illustration draft, vol. 1

Since this was the first volume, I tried out a few different drawings and had the editor and designer choose which ones they wanted, then made small adjustments. I personally liked the top-down draft, and the one of the cooking processes (back cover) the best. But looking back, I sincerely think it's good that we didn't go with those. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 2

The format was decided for volume 1. So, volume 2 came together quickly. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 3

I thought it might be cool to make the character Chilchuck darker in the foreground, and the background brighter! But it didn't quite work out the way I had imagined. I think it could have been a bit better. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 4

I remember that the overall shape of volume 4 came together very quickly. The character Senshi's hands didn't fit nicely, so I moved them backwards and to the side. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 5

I thought people might start to think "how many have I bought?" so I wanted to create a slightly different impression with this volume. I decided to put the character right in the center and try putting it together all in blue and green hues. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 6

With the Red Dragon defeated, have we reached the halfway point in the story? With this in mind, I thought of how many volumes were left to go, and the number of characters, and decided to pair up the characters Namari and Shuroiro. In hindsight, it would have been fine to have them on one cover each. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 7

The image is of focus lines converging on the character Izutsumi. This is the kind of cover, with upside down characters, which I've always wanted to try once(?) I submitted it as a trial, thinking that at this point the cover wouldn't dramatically influence sales. However, in the end, we decided it would be better not to have it upside down. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 8

I tried blurring the mushrooms in the foreground, then I accidentally saved over it, and couldn't go back to the original. I remember apologizing that it was probably tacky, when I submitted it. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 9

I don't think snake meat is marbled at all, but if it has an unfamiliar look, people might not recognize it as meat… so I made it look like beef to make it easier to understand. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 10

I thought it might be interesting to have more than one of the main characters on the cover again, so I added the character Falin. I remember it wasn't badly received, but it still ended up just being Thistle on his own. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 11

I wanted this cover to be covered in shiny gold. After I finished it, it didn't have enough color, so I painted the tablecloth green, and it ended up looking like Christmas colors. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 12

Up to this point, the covers have featured one of the main characters holding cooking utensils in the foreground and a monster in the background, but I thought it might be interesting to reverse the format just before the final volume, so I drew this cover with that in mind. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 13

volume 13 was meant to be the final one, but it was too thick to be published as a single volume, so we decided to split it into two. The question of “so, what should I draw next!?" may be at the forefront of volume 13. (Kui)

Cover illustration draft, vol. 14

I had decided that the final cover definitely needed to have everyone eating together on it, but because I was publishing two books at the same time I was pressed for time, and it was difficult to have a cover with so many characters on it. I also submitted a rough for an illustration that didn't need me to draw any crowds, but such obviously easy ideas are never adopted. (Kui)

TV anime "Delicious in Dungeon"

About the ending illustration.

I drew these based on the director's instruction "This kinds of pictures." I hardly ever have the chance to draw color illustrations, so it was a valuable experience for me. (Kui)

[Kui's commentary is from the english pamphlet]

can yall stop saying labru has no basis in canon or has less basis than other dunmeshi ships when all of them are noncanon and also. romance aside, they're literally narrative foils. They are meant to mirror each other. laios himself isn't the driving force behind kabru's actions but the moral dilemma he represents + his opposite views on what is valuable and worthy of love (monsters vs humanity) IS. kabru forces laios to acknowledge his own humanity and his insecurities stemming from his trauma, the same way laios forces kabru to acknowledge his. He literally spends the rest of his life by laios' side. this is not an effort to force people to ship them or enjoy the pairing but so many people are blatantly twisting the story to dunk on shippers and its agonizing to see

So if Tiffany and Little Tuck really were never real children, then Timmy had to watch this fake version of his mother start referring to these fake children as her two children while he had to be the point five. The forgotten child. The mess up. Can you imagine living in a doll house filled with fake versions of your dead family and being forced to go along with it every day because who are you going to tell? Who would believe you if you said that actually your mother is a robot and your siblings aren’t even real?

Chilshi is fun because Chilchuck knows in his heart and soul he could never be with Senshi because of his lifespan (among other things, mostly a lack of self-confidence) but he knows Senshi would be the best partner he could possibly ask for. Senshi would hold him close after his confession and tell him it is better to have loved and lost than have not to love at all.

Chilaios is fun because Laios is one of the only people Chilchuck consistently sees that actually understands him in a way that not a lot of other half foots do. He fucks up, a lot, but he's never a dick about it. Laios sees Chilchuck as a wonderful mentor and a loyal friend and when he feels himself catch feelings he knows he'd be laughed at, or worse. And yet, it works out.

Laishuro is fun because Laios is everything that Shuro cannot be as the son of a noble. He is the loud, emotional, kind man who cares about people more than dignity, and Shuro cannot stand to see someone immune to the judgment he cannot ever ignore. He buries his affection for him under layers of hate and jealousy because he thinks maybe it'll kill his feelings for him. But of course, that never works.

THIS. IS. SO BIG.

The implications are staggering. Infestation itself says that protoframes are built different, they won't fully turn - at least in the mental aspect - due to Entrati's design. Tells us something about Doctor's plans.

Protoframes aren't just temporary tools. They also aren't meant to just be backup warframes for the drifter. They are long term.

Why did Entrati do that? Is it because as he said the greatest weapon against the Indifference is love so he wanted to give Drifter a group of people she could love? Does he maybe also want to use them as a new fighting force - warframes without the issue of limited amount of Tenno -, perhaps to get to the Tau? Something that is confirmed to be one of his goals.

This is so exciting really.
