22. Some of us consider Amano to be one of the greatest artists in existence because we honestly really think his art is that incredible.

His Final Fantasy stuff is not my favorite. I do like his character designs for FFVI, don't get me wrong, but honestly, it's not his best work. My favorites are his illustrations for the Vampire Hunter D Novels, his 1001 Nights project, his collaboration with Neil Gaiman, the New York Salad project....

And have you seen his recent experiments? His traditional Japanese paintings are praised to high heaven almost unanimously by some of the most elite critics in the art world. You may not like his style, but he is an amazing artist.

Seriously, you can not like his style, that's cool. But he does have other styles, which I'd urge you to take a look at, and plenty of people admire and fan him as an artist, not just as 'that guy who does those popular video game designs'.

And I hope none of that came off as bitchy, because I didn't intend for it to be at all.

Exactly.

[fuyu]

Agreed entirely.

Thank you. ♥

I've always liked his Final Fantasy designs and that's, uh, definitely how I got into him being all that I'm from North America and stuff, but the day I fell in love with him was the day I found a 500-page Amano artbook tucked in the back shelf of the local bookstore when I was about fourteen years old.

My God, his DETAILS and his use of PAINT and just how definitive and delicate everything is. In so much of his art there are worlds upon worlds upon worlds... *sparkles*
