Gentle mist and haunted memories lost on those never-ending stairs.
A fragile feeling of grief washes over you, and now you've got fog on your glasses.

From TEKKONKINKREET scene 1 cut 6, spectacular layout and hand-painted BG elements. The plan for executing this (including the 180ยฐ roll) is all from the great Shinji Kimura.

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now.

happy new year everyone!

#Tekkonkinkreet art dir. Shinji Kimura and I were inspired by Kimio Itozaki's books of papercraft "photo-montage" scenes, and made our own hand-painted "photomo" of Treasure Town streets.

Q: Who's your fave #Tekkonkinkreet "extra"?

Treasure Town (ๅฎ็”บ) townsfolk had to fit the design of the city, so animators of crowd shots got these as style ref. Character design by Shojiro Nishimi, colors by Miyuki Itล.

Some great #TEKKONKINKREET BG elements from scene 1 cut 6. These go by in a flash, but they're loaded with goofy visual "Easter eggs" (see alt text), evidence of Art Director Shinji Kimura's quirky sense of humor ๐Ÿ˜
