The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service

Animage (The Art Series)

ISBN4-19-819110-7 C0079 P2500E(0)


209 pages, 162 are color plates.

The book is divided into four sections, with the introduction from
Hayao Miyazaki himself in English ^_^

Part 1: In the Beginning
Part 2: Art of Animated Films
Part 3: Animation Technique
Part 4: The Complete Script of the Film

Needless to say, this book is very informative, if you read Japanese.
If you're like me, you'd get it for the artwork alone!! ^_^

The following pictures are named artofkiki[pagenumber][pic#].jpg
i.e. artofkiki36a.jpg is the picture from page 36, the first picture.

Most of the samples are retained at a sampling rate of 300dpi to ensure
transferrability to other medias, especially original paintings for the
backgrounds. Other pictures such as movie captures are color-corrected
and are retained at a lower resolution for ease of download.

The pictures called artofkiki*.800x600.jpg are the same pictures
which are scaled down to 800x600 pixels. These are scaled down versions
of the original background artwork, and are scaled down for the
convenience of those who wants to have a great background on their
desktops.
(The originals are around 2000x1600 pixels large! Most people do not own
 the equipment to correctly downscale these beasts.)

These files are the exact same replicas of those of the same name above
but these are downsized and clipped to fit in an 800x600 frame and
compressed further to make it fit as my (x)windows background ^_^
