A sample page from the 'Magnetic Rose' storyboard book that came with the MEMORIES 4K UHD set I picked up recently. I believe the layouts were done by the late Satoshi Kon. My review coming soon -

#Tekkon background players, as drawn by Shojiro Nishimi, colored by Miyuki Ito, and on a BG by the great Shinji Kimura. Much of our coloring was inspired by Showa-era design (posters, products, adverts, matchboxes, etc.)

Katsuya Terada's 'THIS AND THAT' is one of my fav art books of 2025. All the doodles are delightfully detailed with big nods to Moebius. Explore more in my review - halcyonrealms.com/books/this-a...

My 10 Favorite Films Of 2025
I watched 108 films in 2025, barely scraping by my self imposed target of at least 2 films per week. I think I might have been able to do better had I not been extremely busy with work toward the end ...

Not that I've had plenty of time and/or money to visit lots of art exhibitions this year, but my favorite was hands down 'The World Of Shirow Masamune' that I saw in Tokyo earlier in May. Absolutely killer stuff. Read more about my visit - halcyonrealms.com/mangacomics/...

2025 year in review - a short 🧵on the #VFX & #animation work I did this year -
It's been a fun & fulfilling year working on a variety of excellent projects. #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS is clearly a big highlight, but I also enjoyed work on the other live-action films very much.

The back-story of Rainy from #DeathStranding2OnTheBeach is such a great piece of mythology building. Kojima did good here; a really well put together narrative, and the choice of soundtrack is on point as well - www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU6y...

My name’s Andrew Browne👋🏼

I’m an artist currently based in Sapporo, Japan, but soon to be back in Tokyo.

Most of my recent work is comics related, but my work itself is wide-ranging, from fine art in galleries to artwork for bands.

Hello to my new followers. I'm a #VFX lighting/comp artist working in film & animation. Below are some movies that I've worked on.
Sadly (ex)twitter is becoming more of a mess with each passing day so I endeavor to spend more time here and discover like-minded artists. Cheers !

One of the things I was most glad to talk with Rian Johnson about was working with his cinematographer Steve Yedlin (he also shouted out his production designer Rick Heinrichs) on these remarkable sequences 📽️
