In all my time playing Yugioh, I’ve never once thought of where I might see more of Kazuki Takahashi’s artwork. His name is at the bottom of every card, reminding me that he created the game. So, because of that, it never occurred to me to see what his art was like outside of cards and manga.
Nevertheless, I happened to find his official website. Over at http://studio-dice.com, Mr. Takahashi showcases some of his Yugioh related artwork, including the images that are used for some of the cards in the “Anniversary Pack.” There’s also a really cool video of him drawing the Pharaoh – [here]
Check it out!
Thanks for showing me the website. Its awesome! The video was cool.
Watched the video. Real talented indeed.
It’s possible that the monster ancient crimson ape was based on hellboy, as hellboy was often reffered to as a red ape and the physique looks similar as well.
Haha I never though of that. I had to look at ACape again because I thought it was Ape Fighter that you were talking about. I think ape fighter looks a little more hellboy-ish. It looks like it has goggles, but no long pants.
