Some pages from the upcoming reprint of the official Bastard!! Artbook! Modern fantasy art the world over owes SO MUCH to Kazushi Hagiwara and Studio Loud in School!
Battle Chasers is one of the biggest influences on current Western fantasy art, especially for videogames (see WoW etc). Bastard!! was one of the key influences on it! I remember Joe Mad talking bout how much he admires Kazushi Hagiwara in old interviews!

Love Guilty Gear? Bastard!! is one of the key influences. The story and aesthetics and even the fantasy/heavy metal theme are all huuugely "Bastard!!" inspired! Btw KY Kiske is basically Lars (and Sol is DS!) ImageImageImage
Love Naruto? Guess which Shonen Jump comics influenced it! DBZ? Sure! Slam Dunk? Hell yeah! But also don't forget Bastard!!

I've been seeing a lot of appreciation for Rumiko Takahashi, which is awesome. She's one of the best comics artists of all time. I want to clear up a popular misconception about her tho. Rumiko Takahashi is NOT a shoujo artist. All her mega hits are Shonen classics!

A thread... Image
I repeat: Rumiko Takahashi is one of the greatest SHONEN manga-ka of all time. Just because she's a woman and her work appeals to a lot of non men doesn't mean she's a Shoujo artist! Image
Rumiko Takahashi's first mega hit was Uresai Yatsura aka Lum, which was published in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1978 to 1987. It propelled her to a level of comics superstardom that has never relented to this day! Image

Classic work from one of my all-time fab artists! I can't believe this is 15 years old now! Still looks fresh as the day it was posted! (This was my wallpaper in college!)
The thing about Tokiya Sakba (aka TOKIYA aka Arma Eater--and yes he inspired my blog name!) is that 10-15 years ago no one else (other than Kawayoo) was doing stuff like this. Post Tumblr/Instagram/Social Media EVERYONE is TRYING to do stuff like this--but he's still the best! ImageImageImage
This painting must be about 17 years old now. I nearly wept the first time I saw this. I'd never seen anything quite like it before. Other people had figured out how to make digital paintings look like oil paintings but Tokiya took it several steps further than that! This GLOWS. Image

Addendum: The absolute epitome of incredibly realistic traditional animation, drawn totally from imagination without rotoscoping is Richard William's final masterpiece "Prologue." It might never be outdone. I don't know why people don't talk about it more!
You can see the full short here:


CW: extremely realistic, detailed violence and penises
It's so interesting that Richard Williams, who authored THE textbook on animation in the western world, who revived classic Disney style animation with Who Framed Roger Rabbit spent his final days working on the most realistic traditional animation ever.

Hiroyuki Okiura (沖浦啓之) is the kind of animator who animates so perfectly that he often gets accused of rotoscoping, but actual animators know he obvopusly doesn't because it looks TOO GOOD to be traced from a video.
Hiroyuki Okiura (沖浦啓之) was a natural prodigy at animation, who left high school at age 16, with no formal training to become a pro animator on Dougram (太陽の牙ダグラム). This was 1982, before digital technology and the internet made animation more accessible!
By 1984, Hiroyuki Okiura made his debut as an animation director on Star Muskateer Bismark (星銃士ビスマルク) an original series from Studio Pierrot which was released in the west as "Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs"

Good morning!
Taking it easy at the "Coffee and Slow Bar" after picking up some produce from the local morning market. ImageImageImage
This outdoor "slow bar" epitomizes the laid back spirit of Chiang Mai. After selecting from light, medium or dark roast you're given a huge hand cranked coffee grinder to grind your own beans. The process takes several minutes, but it makes you appreciate the final result! ImageImage
