ABOUT

A poster book of Psikyo key art published by Wani Magazine in 2003, the year after the studio itself had been absorbed by X-nauts. Rather than reprinting game screens it presents large-format illustration by the artists who defined Psikyo's characters.

The line-up is led by Mine Yoshizaki of Sgt. Frog fame, alongside Hirofumi Nakamura, Masato Natsumoto and Takeshi Ogata, with Range Murata and Jun Tsukasa also contributing. The publisher pitched it as a keepsake collection of creators working at the front line of games, comics and anime.

As the poster format implies, this is display art rather than reference material, but it is one of very few commercial publications of Psikyo artwork and the only one issued after the studio's independent life ended.
