Global Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 With Yoshitaka Amano's appearance at Anizona about a month away, I started to think I don't really have anything good for him to sign. I usually get posters signed but I can't seem to find any. So I wonder what some MWers have. I'd be willing to buy posters or large Mospeada artwork by Amano, or if anyone has any art books or smaller posters that they can scan, I could use that image to print a poster. Thanks for any help you can offer! Global Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Checked my poster collection, sorry no sign of Mospeada Get him to sign the artwork of model kits, that would be an idea Otherwise I do have one of those cheesy kids wallet lying around somewhere if you are interested Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_D Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 amano did mospeada art work?? i'll have to check that out. how about gettin him to sign some of his artbooks? I only have Bi-Ten, wish I had more but most of his books costs a lot. I wonder if he's going to have any of his original works for sale...damn, I'd like one of those.

Global Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yeah, I don't really like to get artbooks signed because its more difficult to display. For someone as great as Amano, I'd really like to get it framed. I would be willing to bet that he will have a display and be selling some prints, but I doubt that there will be any Mospeada stuff. If you look at his website, it doesn't even list Mospeada under his animation work. Even though he was the character disigner and has done some beautiful illustrations of Yellow. You can see them on the R2 DVD releases. So thanks, and I'm still looking for something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glane21 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Did he do full painted work or lineart or cel art or what? Can you post examples? I have a robotech mospeada poster that may have been him I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Amano is credited as the character disigner for Mospeada. So most of the line-art is probably his. But he is so well known for a particular style and of the few Mospeada paintings I've seen almost all focus on Yellow. Here is some small pictures that I've found around the web.

trueblueeyes Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Didn't he also do one or more covers of the last Robotech comic series? Those should be cheap and plentiful now that Dreamwave is out of business, plus the RT comics were never hot sellers. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
