Amano is a genius! This stuff looks intense, but confusing. I like that it's just black and red.

Yoshitaka Amano is a renowned Japanese artist, mostly know for his work for the Vampire Hunter D novels. He has illustrated many novels and there are quite a few collections of his art, I believe he's even done an X-Men comic (not 100% sure about that though). Just google image search him, it'll pop up with a lot of his stuff, if you like art then you will most definitely like Amano.

Absolutely stunning sumi-e artwork. Yoshitaka Amano is a superb artist and I can't wait to read the story. The summary is very compelling.

The inkwork on this guy's stuff is sooo gritty and sooo cool :) Kinda reminds me of Frank Miller's Sin City for some reason.
I gotta watch out for this guy :)

This artwork is sick. Just that it is so freaking awesomely weird and just free hand. This man has talent.
I hope to see more 0_0
