32 Japanese artists and illustrators showcase their stunning flair and boundless imagination in this Science Fiction centric art book published by PIE International, the latest in a series of illustration books with a focus on landscapes and environment art; check out these titles that I reviewed previously – Mysterious Scenes From A Dark Fantasy World / Everyday Scenes From A Parallel World / Retrospective Scenes From A Sentimental World.

These 32 artists leverage the rich visual culture of anime and manga to create sci-fi art that is in many ways uniquely Japanese, and is certainly a breath of fresh air from the more common visual style of science fiction offerings we see posted on social media. Here’s the full list of the illustrators featured in this book –

Many of the artists showcased are new to me, with a few familiar artists whose art books I’ve covered previously. I’ve included links to their featured illustrations below.

(above & below) The illustrations of artist Shinya Mizuno. I’ve had the art book in my amazon cart for the longest time, maybe I should really commit and get it for review soon…

(above) Art work by Tsukino Yota. He doesn’t have a published art book yet, but I really like his work and I hope one is on the way !

(above) An illustration from the Steam Reverie In Amber Illustration Book I reviewed a while back, by artist Kuroimori (黒イ森). Very lovely illustrations, and I highly recommend the art book.

(below) Malbeni Akane’s bold and whimsical illustration style is instantly recognizable. Check out my review for her art book.

This is a splendid volume to discover the work of some new exciting Japanese artists and illustrators while marveling the excellent sci-fi illustrations showcased. Recommended.
