ICYMI - Jurassic Park : The Ultimate Visual History features a huge treasure trove of concept art from the trilogy, many of which had never been published before. See more in my review - https://t.co/QQJOuh26yi #artbook #illustration #conceptart #filmmaking #blauereview
Otomo was only warming up for his magnum opus Akira with his earlier work Domu - the epic scenes of mayhem and destruction so gloriously depicted in the newest edition from his Complete Works. See more in my review 童夢 大友克洋全集 コミック レビュー - https://t.co/Ze89Ikgygb
The world is in turmoil...I'm just going to keep posting stuff on art/film/illustration to stay positive. 😌 This is one of my favorite art books from 2019 - Katsuya Terada's astonishing Real Size - https://t.co/tpbO4YjNmM #artbook #blauereview #寺田克也
And flipping through the delightful watercolor illustrations of Hayao Miyazaki always make me feel better; these are some from his 2 volume Hayao Miyazaki And The Ghibli Museum art book 宮崎駿とジブリ美術館 - https://t.co/YVsmTzry3d #Ghibli #illustration #宮崎駿 #ジブリ美術館
And if you haven't already, do check out my review for the new edition of Domu as well - https://t.co/Ze89Iky97J
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
