I can't check the audio on my end right now. let me know if this sounds ok. I had to reinstall OBS and the settings might be different. My speakers aren't working right now...so it's tough for me to judge the audio playback. thanks~!
My only exposure to AKIRA was with the Marvel editions colored by Steve Oliff. Incredible art and story. And while the rest of the industry (To my memory) was failing at computer coloring Steve knocked it out of the park!
I know I mentioned this on a previous video but Steve Oliff is one of the nicest most amazing dudes I ever met. he's the kind of guy who will give you the shirt off his back or the first edition comic book laying on his coffee table.
hi Rich! love your videos, you didn't do a video about David Fairbrother-roe and I thought you might like to do that someday. (he's the guy who drew Nazareth's 'hair of the dog').
@@arcanethink search my channel! I've looked at Berserk for sure before and Akira and Domu etc a few times!! I feel like I might have done something on battle angel alita but it might have been a few things. Pretty sure I've done ghost in the shell and also abra, blame! and a bunch of others.
Word was at the time that Akira was the first ever Photoshop painted comic. Why? Because they had to paint without losing the FX on the screen tones. All books at that time would have Color Guides and then they would be Photoshop painted and the Photoshop colorist was the Color Separator. I guess they were not considered artists at the time. But more of a technician.
I guess that later on, the Color guides guys, just gave it a t thought. "If I'm going to paint this. Why don't I use Photoshop to do this at once and deal with it myself and skip a step in this production." Those sets of color pens are very expensive and You only have to buy Photoshop once.
I bought a couple pages from Steve at a con in 2013. You all would shit at how much the pages cost back then. I got 2 pages with "baby Tetsuo" - the giant bloated gross veiny monstrosity.

Sounds sharp mang!
@@Jameswindsorsmith ok thanks. I think I might have finally isolated the issue. i hope!!
Ya, it sounds great.
I remember reading in Wikipedia a while back that Akira was the first comic in the world to be colored digitally, using computers.
Correct.

I got a color guide for an issue of Glory long time ago. It's really cool.
I bought one of Steve Oliffe's guides when they came up a few years ago.
sweet. that is really cool. I was really tempted when I saw them many years back.
The color project vie Epic, was started around 1987.
