While we're talking about #Nausicaa, I'll be remiss not to mention the 2 vol deluxe release of the original #manga by Hayao Miyazaki, which offers the best quality reproductions of his beautiful art work #風の谷のナウシカ 豪華装幀本 #宮崎駿 - https://t.co/qbGwNKTGn7
The large print format really captures all the little lovely details of Hayao Miyazaki's delightful drawings ( time to read the manga again... ) -
On a related note, the aliens in the film were designed by the late character designer/illustrator Yasushi Nirasawa, with his signature non-symmetrical forms. I recommend checking out his art book Blood Of Nira's Creature 韮沢靖追悼画集- https://t.co/qFdlzttaa8 #韮沢靖
Tank Model Diaries Vol 2 – Morinaga Yo Illustration Book モリナガ・ヨウのプラモ迷宮日記<第2集>ガンメタルの巻 イラストエッセイ - https://t.co/lO3eppfcX0 #artbook #illustration
Spearheaded by master illustrators Katsuhiro Otomo & Katsuya Terada, Oyaji (親父衆 - 2015) is a collection of comics/drawings from 33 artists featuring their personal artistic interpretations on the subject matter of the "father figure" - https://t.co/sYud8QTFPo #大友克洋

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.
