TEKKONKINKREET One thing that was fun but also complicated was the large number of costume changes. Shiro had EIGHT outfits (included naked). Black also eight (not counting the Minotaur). Character design: Shojiro Nishimi Colors: Miyuki Ito #TEKKON #鉄コン #AMERBETON #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto

Yakuza flunkies Goshima, Ota, Yasuda, and Adachi. Not much glory for these guys. Character design: Shojiro Nishimi / Colors: Miyuki Ito #TEKKON #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto #AMERBETON

Left on the cutting room floor... These characters never made it into the final film, though we storyboarded, did layouts and rough animation for their scene. Character design: Shojiro Nishimi / Colors: Miyuki Ito / BG: the great Shinji Kimura. #TEKKON #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #松本大洋

NHK rebroadcast Naoki Urasawa's MANBEN episode on DOMU, reminding me how fortunate we are to have Otomo. Simply the best. #大友克洋 #童夢 #アキラ #AKIRA #OTOMO #DOMU #manga

You'll see a lot of strange things from now on.

A look back at 2017, the year of the rooster. Not so funny anymore I guess. Just a reminder to myself of how far we've come... 😵‍💫

#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.) #鉄コン #西見 #木村真二 #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto

Bill Plympton’s SLIDE is pretty wonderful. Good to see animation so handmade, expressive, and raw, among all the ultra-processed digi-digi stuff. #handdrawn #animation
