Famed Japanese illustrator and character/mecha designer Akira Yasuda ( Akiman ) showcases his beautiful collection of Gundam related illustrations in this art book (安田 朗 ガンダムデザインワークス). The contents includes illustrations from the G-Reco and Turn-A Gundam anime series, created for cd and dvd art covers and marketing materials.

Also included are character and mecha designs from the above series as well as the Turn-A manga Wind Of The Moon (月の風) and the PS game MS Saga : A New Dawn (トゥルーオデッセイ). A long interview with the artist is also included.

Anime fans of G-Reco and Turn-A, as well as Akiman will find a lot to like in this art book. Highly recommended.

If you enjoy Akiman’s art work, be sure to check out his Akimando book, as well as the Art Of Street Fighter.
