Art and Video Games: Yoshitaka Amano
Yoshitaka Amano is an artist who designed many characters in the Final Fantasy series as well as for other series. His uniqueness in his designs are such that he does not design images directly for animation or comics. Amano’s art revolves around the medium of printmaking. Printmaking involves processes such as carving wood and/or scoring copper plates, running ink, and transferring ink to paper. Aside from woodcut and copper plate prints, Amano also uses the method of lithography. He typically uses acrylics to color his prints, using an effect resembling watercolor, and many of his works are influenced by ukiyo-e aesthetics.
