Illustration scans for Animorphs #1 (Japan edition)
« on: October 19, 2008, 06:02:57 PM »
I thought everyone might enjoy seeing these illustrations which appeared in the Japanese translation of The Invasion, they're quite nice.

edit: On second thought, is this better suited for the Animorphs forum then here?

Nice sketches! Makes me wonder what Animorphs would've been like as a comic book...

I love these. It really does just give a whole new feel to the book. I think it would of been a fine addition to the English version. :D

Oh WOW, these are so kick ass. That last one especially with them fighting in the Yeerk Pool is awesome!

I never even knew that the Japanese books had additional illustrations inside. Do you mind if I add these to the Hirac Delest archive Mirienne? I'll be sure to give you proper credit. ;D

 WOW~! the covers ...a.re...certainly different, haha.

 But I especially like the one with Tobias over the wolves, and the one where they're all fishing with tobias in the background. I also like the one with Tobias over the gymnast (Rachel)? I think that it conveys the feeling that tobias is a watcher, a loner, but yet, still part of the team, and still has feelings (especially for Rachel).

 Do the books have the morphs on the corner of the pages that are like a flip book? BTW, what is the last pic?
