BLK

BLK is an artbook by huke released in January 2012. Spanning 240 pages total, the book is huke's first artbook and features various illustrations across his work as the creator of Black★Rock Shooter and the character designer for Steins;Gate. It also includes miscellaneous illustrations of other original characters.

Background
BLK was first announced in late August 2011. There were two editions of the book that were available; one was the standard edition that featured the book by itself; the other was a limited edition that bundles the book together with a figma of Black★Rock Shooter Beast, who is also on the front cover of BLK. First releases of the limited edition also included a bonus coupon of an avatar of Black★Rock Shooter Beast for use in Puchitto★Rock Shooter.

Contents
The contents of the book are divided into three sections, each titled accordingly as "Black Rock Shooter", "Steins;Gate", and "Others". The first eighty-two pages following the introduction are dedicated to huke's Black★Rock Shooter-related artworks; while most of the artworks have been previously seen elsewhere (such as huke's pixiv or his art collection doujinshi), some of them are exclusive to BLK, such as concept art for Black Rock Shooter Beast. A number of comments by huke also appear throughout the book, and those that are relevant to Black★Rock Shooter are listed below.
