Most of the pictures include Hayao Miyazaki's comments on the opposite page. There's a few maps included, to show the general scenery of the cartoon. But it's so cool to see the masters work! 99% of them include the depiction of the princess Nausicaa. While in this artnook there only Miyazaki's watercolor paintings, scenes from the film. As a concept artist I love to see concepts in them, the more the better.

Well, it's not the kind of artbook I usually like. To avoid spoilers I will stop the plot description here:)

May be you have seen my art 'Om' in previous posts, so, it's how they look like. She confrunts the kindom of Tolmekia, that tryes to destroy a nearby jungle of mutant insects (the sea of collapse), cause the girl can find a common language with them, while others can't. The main character is the princess of the valley of the wind named Nausicaa. It's one of those post-apocalyptic scenery telling about how people survive in such conditions, destroying the world and each other. I'm sure if you're reading this review you have seen the cartoon, but if not - I'll tell a few words about the plot. As always I include some scanned pages to the post so you can have a look and may be decide that you also want to have the artbook for yourself. 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind' is Hayao Miyazaki's animates movie created in 1984. Today I want to share with you my another artbook review, and this time it's 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind' artbook.
