Just wanted to put this out there for people who may not be aware. Arita has made available a preorder for his two art books. [1] You can get the book alone or you can pay extra for autograph and/or a [random] sketch:
The Culdcept one is fantasy-style art done for this game. The Cinematic one is mostly western movies (ex. batman).
It looks like he’s not really putting a limit on these. I’m not sure if the sketches will be at the same quality, but here’s an example of the one I got about a year ago:
These are cool artbooks and a great collectors’ item if you’re a fan of Arita and curious about his work outside of the Pokemon franchise. While his style is just as recognizable in these, it’s interesting to see the creative liberties he has when tackling other IPs.
Are these still able to buy? I understand its not pokemon related but I would love some artwork from him. The site is not working for me, perhaps i need vpn and translator? I see on this e4 page you can buy a sign and sketch for 160 for either cinematic or other art book, which is a good choice since they similar price?
I have mine framed!
