CHIMERA (キメラ) is the long-awaited first art book by Entei Ryu (エンテイ・リュウ), an artist active at the forefront of the gaming and film industries. Spanning over 300 pages, this sumptuous volume includes everything from fantasy to science fiction, color illustrations, design sketches, and previously unreleased works realized in both 2D as well as 3D digital sculpts, offering a comprehensive showcase of the artist’s impressive body of work.

Based in Tokyo, Entei Ryu works on art and design primarily for movies and games both domestically and internationally. Her transcendent works, themed around life, energy, and harmony with nature, fuse classical realism with the spirituality of Eastern art, captivating a wide audience through various media. In the past, she has contributed art to various titles such as “ASSASSIN’S CREED” and the “FINAL FANTASY” series, and is currently active as a concept artist at Kojima Productions.

This book features all the art from her debut until 2024, including all the paintings exhibited at her solo exhibitions “CHIMERA” and “MERCURY” in Tokyo.

I’ve know about Entei Ryu and also seen some of her work online before, but the quantity and more importantly quality of work showcased in this bountiful 300 paged book has given me a renewed respect and awe for her stunning artistry. Modeling/sculpting, illustration, character design; she aces it all. I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future and this book comes highly recommended.
