The Art Of #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS is a splendid showcase of the stunning concept art by the visdev team. There's a digital version online, but if you're a physical book lover like me, this comes highly recommended. Explore more in my review - halcyonrealms.com/books/the-ar...

Castle Urquhart depicted here by David Young Cameron from around 1920, is situated on Strone Point, south west of Inverness. It was given to Clan Grant in 1509, but was destroyed during the Jacobite rebellion.

Phenomenal shot. RIP.
Sad to report that visual effects artist Chris Stoski has passed away. Chris was the ILM digital matte supervisor for "Star Trek" (2009), and was responsible for this amazing painting of the Enterprise under construction.

Just a reminder that all 3 volumes of the 'AKIRA Layouts & Keyframes' book from the OTOMO COMPLETE WORKS series are awesome. The high quality cel reproductions are especially delightful. Explore more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/akira-...

Animation by the talented folks at Sony Imageworks ! Pity it's a Netflix production, I would have loved to pick it up on physical media if not.
We just saw The Sea Beast (2022) and I was surprised by how good it was. Beautiful visuals and a story that contains a lot of important truth worth explaining to kids early on. It's reminiscent of How to Train Your Dragon, but has a different focus; It's less emotional but makes clearer accusations.

Some pictures of the Criterion 4K UHD release of Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut', a 3 disc set. The 4K presentation is splendid and there's a disc dedicated to interviews & making of docu, all of which are fascinating. Highly recommended. See more in my post - halcyonrealms.com/bluraydvds/e...

Can't get enough of the gorgeous colored pages from the Japanese deluxe edition of #Dragonball. I'm collecting the whole set a few books at a time. Do editions from other countries have these colored panels too ?

Tickled that the Japanese marketing team for Sam Raimi's #SendHelp is calling it just 'HELP' with a Japanese tagline 'REVENGE ISLAND/ISLAND OF VENGEANCE' (#復讐島)".🤣
Anyway, I hope folks enjoy the film in Japan too ! I had a lot of fun working on the #VFX ! 🐗

The quality of drawings in Vol 2 of Otomo's 'STEAMBOY' storyboards are just as detailed & polished as those from the first book. Highly recommended- explore more in my review - halcyonrealms.com/books/steamb...
