Completely flabbergasted by the insanely good concept drawings and art that Alan Lee created for the #LordOfTheRings film; I hope he's working on the Amazon prequel series too - read my review for the Lord Of The Rings Sketchbook (2005)- https://t.co/yMsc8prEA4 #blauereview
I've been itching to read some good old #Dragonball, but with my tankobons back home in Singapore, I ordered a few deluxe edition volumes from Amazon JP. They're on bigger print size with select color pages ! I believe an English edition is available too - https://t.co/IaXQzRwZg5
Here are some of his pages from my review of B.P.R.D – Hell On Earth Vol 3 - https://t.co/o8HMQxY0w9 #artbook #comics #illustration #Hellboy #BPRD #blauereview @JamesHarren1
Dark Horse Manga's deluxe edition of Samura Hiroaki's Blade Of The Immortal is the best way to enjoy the comic in English. Read my review for vol 2 - https://t.co/lA4cyhgpey #manga #comics #artbook #illustration #blauereview #沙村広明 #無限の住人
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
