You haven't really read Dragonball until you've seen it through the deluxe edition; the bigger print size, better quality paper and vibrantly colored pages really shows off Toriyama's delightful art work. Read my review for vol 1 - https://t.co/RhaOrccfKN #blauereview #manga
This chapter divider drawing (Left) is an obvious tip of the hat to Nausicaa (Right); Toriyama-san even drew it with the signature cross-hatching style akin to Miyazaki's art ( Dragonball has much simpler, cleaner line work ). So cool. From one master to another.
And speaking of deluxe editions, I would be remiss to not mention Nausicaa's own 2 volume edition set 風の谷のナウシカ 豪華装幀本 (下巻)- https://t.co/lpXUxvGjT5
Ok, I had no idea this book even exists ( but I'm glad that it does ). On my list to review ! - Snowpiercer: The Art and Making of the Film - AMZ US -https://t.co/ukM5Un6xTY AMZ CA - https://t.co/BtA6ktE1Pa AMZ UK - https://t.co/4hz8CSU9k3 AMZ JP - https://t.co/38o08Fi9vS
Explore the riveting ( and sometimes positively frightening ) illustrations of William Blake's Divine Comedy in this new lower priced edition art book by @taschen - https://t.co/6qpDYJhzbZ #artbook #illustration #WilliamBlake #blauereview
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
