I was wondering  whether dmc4 's  art works should be lumped with his  other art works.
The reason was that I was not sure they are really his work.
Dante and Nero 's Models might be made by other person , even though whole image qualiity seems to be Naru Omori's .

But in the newest Art book , he commented about them,  I know that he did  lighting , posing ,finishing . so I decided adding them . I really like ciandellier image !

He is in Canada !

He seems to join in Capcom Game Studio Vancouver as an Art Director.

In his role as the Studio Art Director, Omori acts as a mentor and advisor to the rest of the art team and helps bridge the pacific to bring Capcom Vancouver and Capcom Japan closer. He cites the Dead Rising 2 development as one of the most interesting times in his career as he was able to see how game development is handled globally. In his spare time Omori is busy learning English and exploring the food and enjoying the open environment around Vancouver following hismove from the crowded city of Osaka.

Dengeki Playstation2 Interview 2

I found a old Interview article with Mr.Ikeno Daigo and Mr.Naru and Mr.Kazuma Kaneko.

Mr.Kaneko=He designed Dante's devil trigger.
Mr.Ikeno=He designed characteres of DMC3.
Mr.Omori=He created highend 3DCG models and all of AD illustrations.

Comments are about Dante

Mr.KanekoDoes not Dante have hair on the chest growing?
Mr.IkenoThere is not hair on the chest. But already soon
Mr.KanekoDoes it grow? (LOL))
Mr.OmoriThough there is not hair on the chest,he has Galant-doe(hair growing aroud a navel) to a high-end CG image properly.
Mr.IkenoSeriously?
Mr.KanekoReally? ! Is there still it properly?
Mr.OmoriBecause Dante has silver hair, it is hard to see .
Mr.KanekoAre not you first among this industry?
The main character who had "Galant-do".
-----------------------------------
Comments  about Lady.

Mr.Omori The director asked me to produce a girl whom is liked not only by Japanese but also by foreigner.
Mr.IkenoI thought what was liked by a Japanese to be a girl of black hair. and considered easiness of movement in a game that hair is shortish.

Mr.OmoriIt is preference of a director that she wears a white blouse. He said that "I wanted you to express a wet blouse".(LOL) There was an order that I did not "make too much her a beautiful woman" from director.
Mr.KanekoOh? But she is pretty properly.
Mr.Omor I think that you may hardly notice from a CG image, but her nose is slightly big.The distance of her both eyes is long. This is a matter of the senses.
