>is going to pass away
Is this a "X will die in your lifetime" thread or did he land in the hospital or something?

>>13841277
he'll be fine

Didn't he die a couple days ago?

>>13841301
Also
>cause of death: kidney failure

Unless it was in his family, how much did he drink?

>>13841277
Damn, RIP. He did a lot of good work, looks like he gave us the creature designs for the second Vampire Hunter D movie. Too soon...

>>13841277
>>13841281
Anons he is already dead, passed away 3 days ago.

>>13841310
Off the top of my head he was the main designer for Kamen Rider Kabuto, Den-O, G and Blade wasn't he?

Did some stuff for Decade, GARO and Shin Megami Tensei 4 too.

He even worked on Dragon's Heaven and Godzilla Final Wars, of all things. Now that's a privilege. I don't think anyone scanlated his Phantom Core manga, either.

Could be HIV

I didnt know he worked with Kobayashi, but this Dragon's Heaven drawing makes sense now

>>13841443
Also worked on Gokaiger. He was really nice. I posted one of my favorite pieces by him on Facebook and he responded. He said "Thank You" and then said he was surprised that his work was noticed in the United States.

Me too.
Sayonara, dude. Your work was great.

>>13841277
God I hate this year so far.

>>1384179
Granted it hasn't been that bad in terms of anime/manga deaths, but this year is killing a ton of people (Can't remember, what was the year where a ton of Japanese VA's and creators died? 2012?)

This sucks. He was awesome.

>>13841799
Last year was actually one of them.

Though nothing on the anime/manga side of things this year already started off with killing off the voice of Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny...

I am very, very sad about this. I have many of his books, love his work so much. :-(

>>13841832
>more body horror

Where's the other page of this diorama?

>>13842102
what are the best ones must showing off as many of his designs as possible.

>>13841545

Post more pls.

>>13841455
Or taking a blow there like Houdini

>>13841277

Shit, Kamen Rider's just not going to be the same without him.

>>13842102

Are those scanned?

>>13842102

Such a shame he passed away, I always loved his creature designs. I'm planning on buying some of his art books. I'll start with the Zangyack one, then maybe try to track down more of them.
Has anyone ever uploaded art from him? I remember seeing scans from his worm and imagin artbooks.

>>13849292
Worm is excellent. I highly recommend that one. It's the stuff nightmares are made of.

Fuck. Why did you had to remind me, OP.

On a sidenote, there's a HR Giger exposition for the second time in my city right now.The first time Giger was too shy to come out to the public and say some words. One year later he died.

Feels bad, man.

>>13842642
I believe a good amount are in the two volume Super Sentai Monster History books, if I knew which series he did designs for specifically I'd possibly dump them

>>13851989

I know he worked on Gokaiger, not sure which other series he worked on as far as Sentai goes, think he did more work for Kamen rider.

>>13852729
Even the Sentai wiki only notes Gokaiger in his work.
