"Ilya Kuvshinov has been creating his own unique brand of manga-influenced illustrations with both a photographer's and a cinematographer's touch."--DJ PANGBURN "Creators by VICE Media "
"This Is Some Of The Best Anime Styled Character Art You Will Ever See....The reason why Kuvshinov's work is so highly regarded in Japan is that his style is pristine in the extreme. With partial undertones of Kazuma Kaneko in places, he draws his figures with almost photo-real precision."--Ollie Barder "Forbes.com "
