Super sadness :(
Looking back, starting with Tactics in 98, I - and I imagine most of you - have basically grown up with his art over the last 15 years. Even longer if you played Ogre Battle when it was released ( My exposure was first FFT)
And I remember when this image was released as a teaser image for ffxii - I basically just drooled.
Edit: also Gallifrey is probably right, it's not like he's dead or quitting art altogether, but still made me nostalgic/bummed to hear.

Nice piece, reminds me a lot of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
It does, a lot of artist visions for future cities involve towering buildings and flying vehicles/airships. Like the illustrations from King's Dream of New York (not illustrated by Moses King I don't think, just published. Harry Pettit illustrated.) There was an early 1900's French futurist with similar drawings too, though I can't remember his name for the life of me right now.
Here's another related image that I always thought was cool:
Thanks for putting us back on topic, BT :) Sweet jesus that guy does amazing work
