He was also inspired by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga "Arion", which he claimed his distinctive shading style was inspired by.

Love his work, I got a copy of "Think Like Amano" in the mail a couple weeks back and it inspired me to try out acrylics and gold leafing.
Not the retro boxart, but I remember hanging onto the box for the Advance release for months because I loved the art on it.

Not a great scan (did it on my normal scanner when I still had the game), but it's hard to find a large version of this one.

Yoshitaka Amano and Tatsuya Yoshikawa are gods when it comes to designing characters and monsters and shit. I especially love all the dragons that Yoshikawa did for Breath of Fire IV, even the ones that look relatively 'traditional' are still weird in some way, like the Aura and Astral dragons having bug wings.

Favorite dragon, coming through. She's especially pretty in the animation they do if you wait at the title screen.

I want to get the BOF complete works set myself, which has art for all 5 games.

Though I feel a little mixed about it since my only experience is with 3 and 4 (been meaning to play 5).

To be honest, I'd go for the Complete Collection first, and find out if there's been stuff omitted from any of the other artbooks, then go after that.
