"Beware The Claw !" Immerse in the stories of Lobster Johnson, Mike Mignola's Hellboy universe spin-off series with this new hardcover (448 pages) omnibus edition, complete with a fantastic collection of prep art & sketches - https://t.co/jWwakrTE2W
Creature design drawings and maquette sculpts for the kaiju Gabora from the Shin Ultraman Design Works. I believe the illustrations are by Takayuki Takeya, based on original designs by Narita Toru. See more in my review - https://t.co/AhFMpTE45d
Writing the book review for Hayao Miyazaki's Shuna's Journey. It's been a while since I've read the book & I've forgotten just how stunning the illustrations are; you can pretty much skip my review and just go get a copy - https://t.co/n2wpU0iSp9
I have only good things to say about the new English edition of Hayao Miyazaki's manga Shuna's Journey. Bigger size, hardcover format, & in English for the 1st time ever. Highly recommended. See more in my review - https://t.co/SktxAM6SqH
Miyazaki-san used many of the ideas and visuals from Shuna later on when he made Princess Mononoke. These few panels are almost a 1:1 match with the night scene where Ashitaka & Jigo share a meal and Jigo tells him about the Great Forest Spirit -

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
Hayao Miyazaki's self caricature as a pig riding in a stylish 3 wheeler (L), based on a photo taken by his late mentor, the veteran animator Yasuo Otsuka in 1993 (R). This illustration appeared in the Feb 94 issue of NAVI magazine.
