“Art is an explosion” and feel the charm of Japanese masters

The famous Japanese artist Okamoto Taro has a saying, “Art is an explosion!”, this sentence is quoted in “Naruto Ninja”, widely circulated among the anime fan community

“Blessing for a wonderful world! Huihui is eager to put on a “burst magic” every day. The picture shows the baptism of the explosion and the joy of magic

For many people, the explosion scene is shocking, raging, smoky, as if it is not restrained by the pattern, it is very exciting. Whether in animation or live-action images, the explosion of the drama is often as a big scene, eye-catching

And to talk about the animation world, whoever draws the most explosive scenes now, is undoubtedly Hashimoto’s history

“Your name. “Evangelion New Theatrical Edition” “Space Battleship Yamato 2199” “Summer Battle” “ALDNOAH.ZERO” “Navigation King” “Naruto Ninja” “Mobile Suit Gundam UC” “STAR DRIVER Shiny Takot “Hal’s Moving Castle” and so on, too many to mention. Countless well-known animations can see the history of Hashimoto

Hashimoto was initially influenced by Star Wars. After graduating from high school, he entered Jungle-Gym. After 4 years of work, he became a freelance artist. He has participated in AIC, Studio Fantasia, DAST, Studio 88 and other companies. Works. In 1991, he also participated in the establishment of the animator group “Drawing House” composed of free original painters

After joining the production of “STEAMBOY” (Steam Boy) directed by Dayou Keyang, Hashimoto joined the Dragon Son Studio. In the meantime, I also participated in the animation production of a number of companies. It is quite active in the industry. In March 2018, I retired as a freelance artist

Hashimoto’s most prominent is the special effects painting. He has taken on a lot of explosion scenes and is widely known in the industry inside and outside the name of special effects animators

The characteristics of the explosion scene in his pen are that the smoke generated after the explosion overlaps into the shape of a circular bubble, and at the moment of the explosion, the black fragments scattered around the explosion are drawn. Not only fire and smoke, he is also good at drawing various special effects scenes

His current style is also influenced by all the people who have worked together, of which Iso Kazuo has the greatest influence. He believes that his explosion can be divided into two periods: “before the impact of Iso Kazuo” and “after the influence of Iguro Kazuo.”

Not only has a lot of classic scenes left in the field of special effects painting, Hashimoto has made achievements in other aspects. He also served as the character design of “Freak ~ ayakashi ~” (Chemical Cat) “Nothing”, “Sky Swing”, “[C] THE MONEY OF SOUL AND POSSIBILITY CONTROL”, and the character image It also fully reflects his preferences. He claims to be somewhat shy when he exposes his preferences in front of the public, and will continue to work hard on special effects painting in the future
