The late manga artist Jiro Taniguchi's colored works are just so lovely. These are from his travelogue art book Venice ヴェネツィア 谷口ジロー (2017) - https://t.co/ToL9c3QU8s
A visual guide for Matsumoto Taiyo / Masaaki Yuasa's Inu-oh animated film will be out on 6/17, with concept, character sketches & more. I hope I'll have a chance to watch the film first #犬王 誕生の巻 -https://t.co/K1qxT87Xe3 #animation #conceptart
The June 2022 issue of Japanese visual arts magazine Geijutsu Shincho (芸術新潮) is a special feature on Record Of Lodoss War Yamada Akihiro. Good stuff; book review in the coming week/s - https://t.co/EudFoaUoo8
Scenes of utter mayhem and destruction, drawn in spectacular detail from Katsuhiro Otomo's Domu ( 2022 Complete Works edition ) - https://t.co/Ze89Iky97J #illustration #manga #comics #大友克洋 #大友全集 #童夢 #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
