Range ( Renji ) Murata's superb character design work and illustrations in the Blue Submarine art book #青の6号 イラスト/設定資料集 - https://t.co/EIyYCo7nbX #artbook #illustration #characterdesign #conceptart #anime #村田蓮爾
@ani_obsessive There's an out of print art book for the film with Katsuhiro Otomo's character designs and illustrations - https://t.co/jFy4V7OiTG
Kazuchika Kise is a veteran animator/director who has worked on highly acclaimed anime films like Patlabor 2, Ghost In The Shell, Evangelion & more. This art book features a good collection of his genga and illustration work 黄瀬和哉アニメーション画集 - https://t.co/wVjFt7tNbA
There's also this animation magazine Yuriika with a special issue to commemorate the director's 10 year death anniversary, but again it's more essay/discussions and I don't imagine there to be much art work ユリイカ 2020年8月号 特集=今敏の世界 - https://t.co/pyjzO2YC9B
Mike Mignola's The Quarantine Sketchbook is up for pre-order ( March 16th 2021 ) on Amazon ! All proceeds will go to the World Central Kitchen - https://t.co/WUkFnwT6RS #hellboy #artbook #illustration @artofmmignola @DarkHorseComics
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.
