A day with Amano

Some of you might not know who Yoshitaka Amano is - but chances are that you have seen his work anyway.

Does "Vampire Hunter D" ring a bell? No? Then how about "Final Fantasy"? Indeed, Yoshitaka Amano was the conceptual artist for both of those - and many others you've probably played or read or seen.

I was directed to this video on YouTube of a 3 part interview that 1-UP had with Amano, I watched it. And when I did, I was amazed at how little views it had.

I decided that these interviews needed to be seen, because not only is Amano an incredible artist, but the worlds he created are just mind-blowing. This is definitely a must-watch for any who wish to become a fantasy artists.

Quite enjoyable to hear someone of that caliber speak their mind.
