If you're looking for something more premium, go for the Japanese 2 volume hardcover deluxe edition, with a bigger print size and higher quality paper stock. Very pretty reproductions 風の谷のナウシカ 豪華装幀本 (上巻/下巻) - https://t.co/qbGwNKTGn7
Character model sheets by the inimitable Tatsuyuki Tanaka for Katsuhiro Otomo's #anime adaptation of his manga Farewell To Weapons. These and more found in the deluxe sized manga/artbook 武器よさらば #大友克洋 原稿サイズ 大型本 漫画 - https://t.co/2a78AVqjHu #artbook #田中達之
Just lovely genga and layout drawings from the Roman Album art book for Hayao Miyazaki's last Ghibli feature film The Wind Rises #風立ちぬ (ロマンアルバム) - https://t.co/ssQPjicKHA #原画 #レイアウト #美術ボード #宮崎駿 #artbook #illustration #anime

Many #animation/#film fans know the late Satoshi Kon as an amazing director, but perhaps less are aware he is also an incredibly accomplished manga artist, just like his mentor Katsuhiro Otomo. Here are some panels from his #manga Opus - https://t.co/ZVaeSSuBQb #今敏 #comics
Otomo's insanely strong cinematic vision is manifestly clear when you look at how tight his storyboard drawings compare to the finished shots in the film. The storyboard books are a veritable treasure trove on how he composed his shots - https://t.co/5gApwv3uW6
One of the most unintentionally funny Amazon reviews I've ever read was one left for the Ghost In The Shell genga/layout book (2014), where the reviewer commented that it was a "half-a**ed coloring book, most of the drawings are incomplete" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - https://t.co/4rXLLv7bUm
Heads up - a 650 pages whopper of an art book will be released on Dec 2nd collecting layouts+genga from Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA, as part of Complete Works. This new book will be like a jumbo edition of the Akira Animation Archives (2002 - image below) - https://t.co/qqLsxpNF0n
One of the many reasons why Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga is so visually impactful is because of the cinematic framing & composition. Otomo is as much a film director/cinematographer as he is a manga artist - https://t.co/tIhqt3L6gY
Not entirely convinced the storyboards that Otomo drew for Akira are detailed enough, I mean look at this shoddy work... 🤣😂 Just teasing of course ! My review for the storyboard book ( Vol 1 ) is almost done. You can also just grab a copy here - https://t.co/JZIKUt83AV
My treasured ( and very yellowed out ) Akira storyboard books, first published back in 1988. Every frame is a work of art. Also, Kodansha should really consider a reprint of these as they would still sell like hotcakes アキラ絵コンテ集 - https://t.co/ipIjvRp1zO #anime #animation
ICYMI - A whole book dedicated to the detailed concept art sketches by Mitsuo Iso ( Denno Coil ) for anime films like Ghost In The Shell, Magnetic Rose, Roujin Z, Evangelion, MS Gundam & more. See more in my review - https://t.co/EDV5W53Gmu
Hayao Miyazaki's self caricature as a pig riding in a stylish 3 wheeler (L), based on a photo taken by his late mentor, the veteran animator Yasuo Otsuka in 1993 (R). This illustration appeared in the Feb 94 issue of NAVI magazine.
