AKIRA EGAWA

Research, dramatic composition, and living creatures

AKIRA EGAWA starts by researching a Pokémon’s habitat, food, abilities, and appearances across the games and animation. In her official Milotic process interview, she explains how that research becomes composition, lighting, and a sense of life. She paints digitally and often develops the background before finishing the Pokémon. Her wider practice draws on experience in 3D modeling and includes games, books, exhibitions, and product work. Dramatic images begin with close observation.
