Original artwork of Ghost in the Shell, cut no. 477, painted by #HiromasaOgura. Three layers are superimposed onto each other and moved very slowly at different speeds during the animation process to create an effect of spatial depth.

Katsufumi Hariu explained his work as the art director for Macross Plus. The background art for the series and feature film are of outstanding quality and conceptual depth. Digging into the artist's archive made me think to present these works to a larger audience - one day.

‘BL’ stands for BLACK. Hiromasa Ogura uses an original production background from Ghost in the Shell (Cut No. 506) to explain his technique for achieving deep black tones. By painting on both the front and back sides of the cel, he created a layered effect that defines this tone.

Hiromasa Ogura 小倉工房【公式】 was very busy with a current production. But he was generous enough to let me browse his archive. The files held cel setups for Tomcat's Big Adventure, imageboards for the Appleseed OVA and Kuroda's work for the game Blood - The Last Vampire.

Close-up of the scanned background art for Ghost in the Shell's cut no. 228. It's a great pleasure to look at the details of Shuichi Kusamori's artwork. There is so much to discover, such as this moving box. #ghostintheshell

With Mika Nishimura 西村美香=YOSHIMA I discussed the difference in style between the work of art directors Shinji Kimura and Hiromasa Ogura. Nishimura was once an apprentice of Ogura and is now working as a respected art director herself.
