  An illustration of Dracula’s castle based on a portrait of Vlad the impaler. A man approaches the castle on foot. There’s a massive spectral wolf waiting to greet him and a mysterious ring of white fire burning next to the path.

Into the mouth of the beast… faffing around with a slightly daft version of Dracula’s castle based increasingly roughly on that portrait of Vlad the Impaler. I did a black and white version too which I (obviously) almost prefer…

Hand-painted BG depicting a down angle of a retro skyscraper topped with elaborate signage.

Shinji painted this very early on, one of his first fully realized BG paintings. The painting was never used, though the same building appears early in the film.

Shinji Kimura's great "Talkie Building," one of our first fully realized BG. Though the same building appears in the movie, the painting was never actually used as a BG.

Hand-painted, of course β€” Nicker Poster Colors on art paper.

It looks too neat to not be intentional. Just nice to think of a skilled roofer enjoying themselves.

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.
