Range Murata (村田 蓮爾, Murata Renji, born October 2, 1968) is a Japanese illustrator and manga artist, known for his unique style combining dieselpunk and japanese moé elements. He is best known for his conceptual design work on anime series Last Exile and Blue Submarine No. 6.[1][2]
He began his career in the early 1990s doing design work for video games, including having done the illustrations and character design for the fighting game series made by Atlus, Power Instinct (Goketsuji Ichizoku).
He has published more than a dozen books of his work, some of the most notable being rule and futurhythm. He won the 2006 Seiun Award for "Best Artist of the Year".
Murata has been designing figures based on his printed art since at least 2007. These figures appear to be substantial (although small, that is less than 6×6×6 inches) works of art.
