Out of print for a long time, Undead Greenblood, a collection of character designs for the Kamen Rider Blade tokusatsu series (2014) by the late artist Yasushi Nirasawa is available again. See more in my review 仮面ライダー剣 韮沢靖 アンデッドワークス- https://t.co/trdCZOYxM0
Yasushi Nirasawa is also the concept artist who designed the asymmetrically shaped aliens in Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within ( 2001 ). Rather unconventional, but definitely impressionable - https://t.co/qFdlzttaa8
His work on this animation piece is also documented in issue no.36 of the visual arts magazine Kikan S ( 2011 ) - https://t.co/L4qhDSUc0y
Sketches & storyboards from the Castle In The Sky/Imaginary Flying Machines exhibition ( 2002-4 ) illustrated by Hayao Miyazaki. Collected in the 2 vol Ghibli Museum art book set 宮崎駿とジブリ美術館 2冊セット - https://t.co/YVsmTzJ8UL #blauereview #anime #illustration #artbook

Let there be no doubt in the power of animation to inspire & motivate artistic creation, seeing all the amazing #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS fanart filling up my timeline. It's like a veritable creative Honmoon all unto itself. Here's just a few that I came across 😍- @UNLAP1N @hyeon_0613
The beautiful color keys painted by the visdev artists greatly informs the work that we do in #vfx lighting/comp in a process called Key-lighting. If you enjoyed #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS and would like to learn a little more about the animation creative process, read on ! A short 🧵-
Seeing Ghost In The Shell creator Shirow Masamune's original manga drawings at his exhibition in Tokyo was an amazing experience. Insanely detailed and the screentone work is just spectacular. See more in my post about the exhibition ( link in comments below 👇)
Interesting. This illustration by the great Tatsuyuki Tanaka is a great primer as well ( a style pioneered by AKIRA creator Katsuhiro Otomo ) - From his book 'Ani Man LLust'; review link in comments below 👇
Denno Coil director Mitsuo Iso's (#磯光雄) latest art book is a treasure trove of his concept art drawings for animated films like Ghost In The Shell, MS Gundam, Roujin Z, Steamboy, Magnetic Rose & more. 400 pages; highly recommended - https://t.co/EDV5W53Gmu
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
Astonishing drawings from Iain McCaig's 'Once Upon a Time in the Sketchbook' ( 2024 ). Hardcover, 160 pages. Explore more in my review; link in comments section below 👇
Beautiful 2 vol manga set of Yamada Akihiro's 'Record Of Lodoss War – The Lady Of Pharis', released in 2015. Real pity it is out of print. See more in my review; link in comments section below 👇
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
Please excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the ground...the insanely detailed drawings from Otomo's Steamboy Storyboard book ( Vol 1 ). Currently writing the review, here are some sneaks; purchase link in comments below 👇
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
