First of all, Amano has formed his own studio, and mainly works freelance for various anime and video game studios, while publishing graphic storybooks. The man does quite fine without relying on CGI. I don't know him personally, but I do know a good deal of his history to know that video games have never really been his sole field, mainly a field he has dabbled in. The one time his art got turned into CGI, well as much as I love FFIX, I have to say that the in game and FMV character designs just did not do the line art justice. Hence why he's never really submitted his designs for another 3D make overOriginally Posted by Omecle
I'd just like to add that a lot of CG artists have an extensive history in fine arts. I think it's quite ignorant to believe and preach that just because one guy still studies and practices a physical form of art, that he does not appreciate computer graphics.They both come hand in hand in the industry.
