In any case, the original Faeries artbook brings us back to this new book, as it is meant as Froud’s own follow-on to that collection of beautiful fantasy art. Credit: Insight Editions/Brian Froudįor anyone that has seen the later aura battler designs of the Sirbine and Zwauth by Izubuchi, you can definitely see what he is talking about when it comes to both Froud's and Lee's influence. This new and updated book is a wonderful collection of Brian Froud's fantasy art. So with the aura battler designs, to emphasize the fantasy elements for the laserdisc jackets for Dunbine I did use something like art nouveau but other than that it is definitely more Froud and Lee there. That was a big influence and I thought this approach would be the ultimate one to take with anything fantasy related creature or that kind of general depiction. The Japanese version of that book was translated and published by Sanrio and I read it when I was at junior high school, or maybe even high school. What's more, Froud and Lee co-authored a book called Faeries. Their designs influenced creature design and they did the drawings for The Lord of the Rings series and also The Dark Crystal. In fact, it's more openly inspired by the work of two British artists, namely Brian Froud and Alan Lee. If I am honest, for me these are not really art nouveau. So in order to strengthen the fantasy element for the illustration, I adopted some of the art nouveau style. This is because anime has to move, so you can't really have that ornate type of lining. However, when I do some kind of package illustration I do use that technique from that era. When it comes to the art nouveau approach, my designs aren't influenced by this. Specifically, he explained that the 1978 artbook Faeries, penned by both Froud and Lee, was very important in regards to how he viewed fantasy art.
