"Osamu Tezuka - SF Heroes Illustrations" Art Book Scans

Postby The Tawashi Bus Hat » 15 years ago

This seems to be somewhat of a rarity nowadays, but I managed to acquire complete scans of this art book, so I figured I'd share them with you.

Osamu Tezuka - SF Heroes Illustrations

So, simply put, this book is fantastic. I currently have no cash to snatch the one that is currently on eBay, but I hope to some day have this in my possession.
Until then, the digital version will do.

This book is basically a collection of art pieces, like cover arts and inserts, for Tezuka's popular original series', like Astro Boy, Black Jack, Vampires, Next World, and some others that I, shame to say, don't recognize...hehehe...

The image scans are quite large, so warning on the file sizes. I had to divide the original file in half, so be sure to download both parts!

The Book is in Two Files, both in .zip format.
Part 1 is 180.55 MB
Part 2 is 194.24 MB

:tenma: DOWNLOAD:
Part 1 - http://www.mediafire.com/?tjl4mwjemhd

Part 2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?jt1konaeyk2


Here are some samples:

Of course, these are just samples. The book has over 120 pages each with full color art.
Be sure to download to enjoy the collection! *puts on 3-D glasses* Hey, they may not work, but it feels more fun. :D
:tenma: < Enjoy.

Absolutely amazing -- Dr. Tezuka was an INCREDIBLE graphic designer (beyond a great imagination). There is so much energy and rhythm -- your eyes "dance" over the elements. And a wonderful art deco feeling that goes really well with his palette and vision. Thank you so much for sharing this -- it's really wonderful to see some of what "else" he had to say.
