Atsushi Furusawa
Research notes, simple forms, and rich settings



Atsushi Furusawa begins with research notes that branch from a Pokémon into its behavior, abilities, and possible settings. His official Arcanine walkthrough shows how those notes become alternative compositions and carefully revised artwork. He often sets simple Pokémon shapes against more detailed environments, adjusting the background style to suit the subject. He works mainly in Clip Studio Paint and wants viewers to discover a creature’s charm afresh, whether it suddenly feels cuter, cooler, or more alive.
