That amazing leggy picture should have been the cover of the game instead of Marth from Fire Emblem.

I made this thread partly because I'm in the mood to scan some artbooks, so I can also consider requests.

>>5784717
I absolutely love nishimura's art. Definitely my favorite Capcom-affiliated artist

>>5784557
Katsuya Terada
The Koei illustrator
Whoever did Vortex
There's another Japanese artist who did the spaceship illustration. The pilot is near the canopy and the ship is caught in wires.

>>5784557

That box art is a straight up Moebius rip off kek.

My persona favorite artwork is from Breath of Fire 4 and Darkstalkers. 90s Capcom artbooks are really good, also Yoshitaka Amano.

>>5784557
Kojima (I don't remember her first name) for all the amazing Castlevania artworks.
Kazushi Hagiwara because "Bastard!!"
Yoshitaka Amano for FF (he's a true classic and not knowing him and his works is a lack of vidya knowledge
Shigenori Soejima and Kazuma Kaneko (SMT, Persona)

>>5784557
Looks like anime Moebius.

Yamada Akihiro is a good one. I'm glad he went on to do the character designs for Twelve Kingdoms given how much of his art couldn't really be captured on the consoles of the time.

>>5785684
Mystic Ark looks pretty good with its battle sprites though.

>>5784557
Doug Watson did pinball art. He's great.

>>5785702

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES

I like the art from Cybertech Custom's Metal Black Orange and Magical Block Carat. I don't know the name.

>>5785350
>That box art is a straight up Moebius rip off kek.
You say that like its a bad thing

Tom DuBois deserves a mention. He did all the action-packed Konami western boxarts in the early 90s.

>>5785964
That artwork is so ugly. The Japanese box art is better.

>>5784557
I'm actually playing this right now. Xbox 360 version. Didnt even know I had it. I must have bought a Sega bundle at one point because I also own Golden Axe, Nights into Dreams, and Streets of Rage 2 somehow.

Anyway, game sucks shit but I'm in too deep now I'll finish it.

>>5784557
Kind of cheating here but Tanaka Tatsuyuki is my pick. He's known mostly for his work in the anime industry, he was the one behind the amazing mutation scene in Akira, but he has some works in the game industry. He did the art for Linda: Cubed Again as well as concept art for unreleased original version of Tengai Makyo III.

As for true game artist my choices are Kazuma Kaneko (Megami Tensei), Tatsuya Yoshikawa (Breath of Fire), Shinya Edaki/Edayan (lots of Capcom fighters), and Tomomi Kobayashi (SaGa series).

>>5784557

Kenji Watanabe who designed most of the original Digimon, their art and still does. He did some character designs for early games too.

>>5786362
I should add they were made for those old vpets which are more VR related too

>>5785362
>Kojima (I don't remember her first name) for all the amazing Castlevania artworks.
Ayami Kojima. She freelances and has occasionally done work for the Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors game artbooks.

>>5785964
>Tom DuBois
Isn't that the guy from the boondocks?

>>5786092
Really? I love his detailed yet dynamic style. It has a very 90s ACTION feel to it that I love.
Other boxarts from him include TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, Castlevania III and Bloodlines, Contra III.
The Japanese boxart for Castlevania IV is pretty iconic too, but I think it looks better as the cover of the CD OST (with the full image), for horizontal boxart art, I like the western art better.
I really wish the vinyl edition of the OST didn't have that fan art as the cover art and instead had either the japanese or western game cover. Wasted opportunity. Same with the other CV vinyls.

>>5786382
You seem to be a fan of his. You might like this doc on his work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw-SPY4n0s8

>>5786165
His art's great, always made me want to play Linda Cubed if it ever gets translated. Tons of personality to it and his art for Tenga Makyo 3 is really cool. I think my favourite thing about the artwork for Japanese retro games besides the quality itself is how many of them capture the imagination behind the setting of the game. You don't really get that as much with contemporary games since generally for most games the technology is there to better represent the idea behind them in the game itself, plus different artists working on stuff. You still get it in the concept art, but not as much in official art.

The trade off is of course you get cool art for a game that doesn't live up to it in many cases but that's where the imagination comes in.

>>5786165

I love his , Otomo and Koji Morimoto`s art very much.

>>5786639

>You still get it in the concept art

Not really, concept art nowadays is just 3d and photo manipulation. Its made to look like an screenshot of the final game, useful for production but really boring and dull. Its just photos and 3d assets badly painted over.

>>5786667
>Not really, concept art nowadays is just 3d and photo manipulation.
Yes, but that's usually for boring games with boring art styles.

For now, I've bought a Hitoshi Yoneda artbook (Qvtina Essentia) to scan. The other books that I want to buy and scan right now (that are cheap):
>伊東岳彦 TAKE伊東岳彦イラスト
>美樹本晴彦 ELVERZ
>AQUARION ILLUSTRATIONS 金田榮路ARTWORKS
>伊藤真美カプコン複製原画集GRITTERINGPALACE (this is Capcom so I feel like this already might be scanned somewhere -- I love the artist though)

>>5786678
>boring games with boring art styles

Azpiri and his covers of 8-bits computer games.

Bump

>>5786119
PS2 is my favorite jrpg. Only things I don't like about it are all the grinding you have to do at the beginning, and the dams. They are good mazes, but it ends up being a long time before the story can move forward, and some of them are filled with enemies that are only really damaged by certain things. The game gets interesting again after the dams are done, tho, so if that's the part you are on then keep in mind it will get better.

>>5786381
>WHATS MY NAME NIU-GUH?!!

>>5784557

>>5786165
Does Tomomi have any artbooks scanned?

the marvel characters looked their best when drawn by Bengus

>>5785684
>>5785686

Very Art Nuevo.

>>5786636
I thought it wasn't unpopular to prefer the western boxarts to the japanese ones for early/mid 90s konami titles.
Or at least think they're on par with the japanese. It was one of the few artists that seemed to do it right, when most of the times Japan got the better artwork by a longshot.
Also worth mentioning another iconic guy, Susumu Matsushita, who did Adventure Island, the Famitsu covers and mascots, and many more. His style is instantly recognizable.

I only know him from his awesome "Arnis" manga.

What games did he do art for ?

>>5789767
Some of the Metal Max games

>>5789808
That's rad as fuck !!
Thanks anon !

>>5784557
Who did the art for PSII?

>>5787232
They had a really toyetic feel to them.
I grew up with the Toy Biz X-men figures and the cartoon, and to see sprites the exact colours of the cartoon and toys was really pleasing.
Really good, meaty drawings and sprites. They carry a lot of weight to them.

>>5788585
Even if he only did the Fatal Fury animes, my mind's eye Mai is always drawn by Masami Obari.

I like the Super Deformed art for a lot of the Treasure characters in games like Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, and Mischief Makers. Anymore /vr/ art of this variety?

Artbook arrived. It's a pretty nice book, you can get it for $8 nowadays too. I recommend picking it up if you like the art. Glossy paper. I'll scan it whenever. It includes the Phantasy Star covers.

>>5792708
yes, but the koei games were always much more expensive than the usual prices. They'd often retail at 12,800 yen on the pc-98 for instance.

Tomomi "Just Glam My Shit Up" Kobayashi has such outlandish and expressive designs in characters and backgrounds that it's a shame it only ends in the concept and promotional materials, ending most of the time as bobblehead characters in the games.

I scanned the artbook. Some of the art that I expected isn't in here (such as the cover of Phantasy Star II) so hopefully it's in his other books.

>>5795982

How do you scan these?

My thinking is that scanning should be done in .png in high resolution. Then that way when it's uploaded to sites the .jpg previews you see are taken from pngs. Rather than .jpgs made from .jpgs. The end user ONLY ends up seeing the .jpgs anyways unless they download the original source, so it doesn't matter.

This way you have a "perfect" scan that you will never need to re-do. As HDD get bigger, and online bandwith gets higher, I've noticed quality of scans go up. Look back at any scan from 2009, and it's some highly compressed .jpg that's like 50mb. All these have to be redone, but most people don't care enough to rescan that shit.

This way you scan something ONCE and do it RIGHT and then never have to worry about it again.

>>5796037
Yes, yes, I'm aware. I can't upload 600dpi TIFs to /vr/ now can I?

>>5796038
>>5796037
On that note I am taking artbook requests >>5784616. I've scanned enough old manga that 10 people total care about for now.

Slightly off topic What's the best way to play each of the Phantasy Star games?
>>5787812
This is what I was going to post though.

>>5796049

Dude, if you or anyone here has scans for Amano´s The Sky, the art of Final Fantasy, i swear, i´d suck your dick, no homo.

Would love to buy a copy since he is my favorite artist but i am in the third world and is hard to buy stuff like that for me. I can´t find it anywhere in the meantime.

>>5796038
>600dpi

Why doesn't this shit use metric units ?

>>5796049
>On that note I am taking artbook requests

Would you do Japanese mags? There's hardly any issues of Famitsu, or Dengeki scanned.

Where you uploading these? Exhentai or archive?

>>5796072
Well I have good news for you. Whoever scanned it a couple years ago cropped the individual images I guess, so some are only 700px high. I think they should have scanned it in a higher resolution. Maybe I'll rescan the artbooks one day. Check here in a bit.

If you have specific issues that you want, I can consider scanning those. I don't want to dedicate myself to scanning the entire runs though, I'll leave that to RetroMags.

Looking through their forums, it seems that the guys there have a lot of issues of Dengeki, and famitsu already but they are only slowly scanning them. So I wouldn't bother with any of that. You'd have to check there to see which issues they have and which they don't.

Since you guys talking scans, I should mention this guy. Guy did amazing work doing high quality scans. He set up a patreon to pay for all this. Thing is though, he stopped scanning around 2017, but he kept his patreon up. He still gets 12 dollars a month for doing absolutely nothing, and there's no word if he'll ever come back. Guy's made a few hundred dollars of free money.

The key to his greatness is that he puts all the details into the things that matter, and not allover the place. His artstyle captures the essence of the early 90's anime artstyle (where it's quality peaked IMO).

>>5785740

Urushihara does not make porn. He makes art. Art that heavily features young women's pubic hair.

>>5796931
>>5796931
>(where it's quality peaked IMO).

I feel the anime style kept getting more grotesque and weird. I think peak ugly face was 90's, and peak ugly bodies. But the moe style took over, and now EVERY SINGLE FREAKING CHARACTER despite what their stated age is supposed to be looks like a little girl with a big bobble head. Hate that shit.

>>5796983
That's why I said early 90's.
Stuff like Taiho Shichauzo, Yu Yu Hakusho, AMG OVAs, Tenchi etc. are peak anime style for me.

"Ugly face" period was late 90's, especially after '98 when they began to use CG-aid.

>>5799797
>It's on my seedbox and I'm uploading a DDL to my business Mediafire account, so it won't die.

Torrents die. Especially for niche material. Are you gonna seed this for 20 years? Whatever happens to exhentia, someone will back up the entire thing and it will always, always, always, exist in some form or another.

Thus, making the highest quality the exhentai version.

>>5799805
I'm not sure what you expect me to do. Exhentai has a filesize limit. I can't upload 600dpi TIFs there, or even JPGs higher than 10mb.

>>5799808
20*

>>5799808
>TIFs

pngs sounds like it makes more sense desu.

>>5799838
TIFs can hold more color depths and bits per channel, and can also hold layers. It's better for archival.

>>5799845

Well, no site supports it, so whatever.

>>5799852
Because it eats up more bandwidth and probably loads slower on pages, same reason Ex has a filesize limit. Hence I made a torrent for the raw scans. I'm not sure what the sperging is about aside from me messing up the cover. The reason I included that message is because I've seen idiots take the JPG version of my scans that I explicitly label as "for reading or browsing" and use them in scanlation despite a superior quality suitable for editing being available. Hell, I just replaced an artbook that was sourced from a raw site that took my scans, compressed the hell out of them to fit on a file locker, and uploaded it. It's a little pet peeve of mine. If you want it, the 600dpi scans are there.

Only AMMO is heavy on the Ryona/Guro stuff, which is why it's his worst manga by far, although a great example of his skill and versatility on the other hand.
Yamamoto's comedy/SoL manga like Choujin Nikki or Elf17 are great, some of his short stories like Sabercats are also amazing, he even sneaked in a Metal Max cameo in there.
>>5794324
Tomomi's art is a bit too detailed to translate properly, though with the last game we're definitely getting there, pretty sure the eventual Frontier remake will finally have models true to her original designs.

why is bonk's head so fuckin big, jesus christ

>>5803663
Not quite, there's many of his other works like 剣の国のアーニス that are particularly violent/erotic, but AMMO is one of his more exaggerated ones, if not the worst one, though I still haven't read a lot of his stuff as it's not easily available outside japan.
It's weird since he goes from something as comedic and childish as Choujin Nikki to standard shounen stuff like Sinbad to massively violent and gory stuff like Arnis or AMMO, he's really very talented in that sense, one of the few mangaka that have really drawn a lot of wildly different stuff.

Hell, a decent .jpg will only have banding and other jpg artifacts only if you zoom in very far. All I care about is fixing those compression issues. After that it's all diminishing returns. after png we get into audiophile levels.

Has some high-res scans of manuals, covers, etc. of older games. It's all too high-res to post here.

Id like to find a nice scan of this that doesnt have the pages scanned as 2 pages into 1

>>5806567
That channel has a load of interesting videos on Japanese artists and game creators. Definitely recommend it

Good example here:
https://e-hentai.org/g/191565/9affaeea64/?p=5

That gives a link to the high quality source on megaupload. Which is gone. So now only the e-hentai scan remains.

There's a Part 2, that's focused on interviews.

These are published by Game Area 51, which is technically a Doujinshi publisher (indie) and I don't think anything published has been scanned.

how da fuck you get that to be so pristine looking?

>>5808803
I saw the Interview Side when looking up your first book originally. It's $20 + shipping so I'll probably get it at some point.

>>5809103

what are your thoughts on Area 51's other books? I am not sure what they even are.

>>5809113
They seem to be videogame history books basically. Interviews, etc. They seem interesting, so I'll keep them in mind. I've certainly never heard of them before, so thanks for posting it.

>>5809121

Area 51 is technically a doujin publisher, real indie niche shit.

btw, can you read Japanese? I can't. I find and upload this stuff in hopes that actual game scholars will read them.

>>5809028

>I'm uploading the Adventure and RPG books.

Oh cool.

Susumu Matsushita, for me it looks like the perfect blend of western and eastern cartoon art.

Tomomi Kobayashi (artist for the SaGa games) is above Amano for me.

cool, I just grabbed the terada one but I'll check the rest out

And one by one they're getting expunged because a mod has a bug up their ass. Their "does not fit the theme of the site" rule is 100% pure subjectivity.

omg they expunged it because it's Taiwanese didn't they? That's so insanely immature.

That's not the corret link right?

>>5812001

You're right. I had two tabs open at once and I copied the wrong one.

To OP, how do you have so much cash to blow on books to scan?

>>5809149
>game scholars will read them

It's pretty difficult to be a "game" scholar when you get into asian languages. It becomes your life, your career...

Studying Japanese demands time and by the time you get intermediate/advanced stiff grammar down youre mind demands more challenging texts in order to fuel your learning desires.

But rest assured my man, at least one loser japanophile, me, will read all of this stuff sooner or later. 振り仮名がなくても読めますから。

>>5812076

I appreciate it anon, thank you.

>>5785362
Amano is based but you sound like a fucking .br piece of shit...

Nice, now we can have a torrent/rar with the entirety of the Gameside compilation books. So the backstory is that Gameside started as "Used Games Magazine" in the 90's, went under Yuge for a bit, and then Gameside. Their focus was niche and obscure games. Their print magazine stopped publishing around 2010, but soon afterwards they released compilation books of articles, bsaed on themes. Gameside proper has barely any issues scanned. Really cool magazine.

btw, these sites are a gold mine of material.

This thread is relevant to my interests

>>5801780
His Zelda artwork is incredible and unreached by the games.

>>5801780

What's up with his style? It looks unique and no one else does it. It looks oddly 3D and kind of strange and off putting.

>>5803291
Is there anywhere online to find his SaberCats stuff?

>>5810383
He made a full cartoon, Monkey Magic. It moves like an anime but the art direction is purely western and it doesn't gel at all.

>>5785740
it's pretty cool that you can use his art in the remake.
he even drew up the new character so that it wouldn't look out of place.

>>5817293
Left looks pretty bland.

>>5818520
he's a bland artist
it's the same one as the yu-no remake.
