Fanart - Yoshitaka Amano Tribute

Born in Shizuoka City, Japan Yoshitaka Amano has inspired millions with his vivid and lurid imagination and highly unique art style. He began his career in 1967 working on character development for popular Japanese anime series. His most famous works at the time were Gatchaman (G-Force), The Adventures of Hutch, the Honeybee and The Time Bokan series. Slowly he began working his way onto magazine covers and doing freelance fantasy artwork.

In 1984 his first art book, Maten (Evil Universe), was printed. Contained in its pages was a rich collection of Amano's pen and ink sketches, acrylics, and watercolors. His next publication was Genmuku (Castle of Illusions) that featured early storyboards for the anime Angel's Egg and the classic Vampire Hunter D.

It wasn't until 1987 that he began his career working as a character designer for the Final Fantasy series. Since then, he has worked on artwork for all Final Fantasy games, ranging from FFI through to FFXII.
