eHobby wrote:Many are familiar with the work of illustrator Hidetsugu Yoshioka, who has contributed his art to series such as Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His unique art evokes a sense of fusion between Japanese and American sensibilities. As part of e-HOBBY’s 12th anniversary celebration, e-HOBBY staff member Andrew “Hydra” Hall will hold a lengthy interview with Mr. Yoshioka. Not only that, fans can submit their questions to Hidetsugu Yoshioka through e-HOBBY’s Twitter and Facebook accounts!
(e-HOBBY staff members will select questions from among the submissions. The complete interview will be published in late May.)
To commemorate his long partnership with e-HOBBY, Hidetsugu Yoshioka has created three original illustrations for the project, which will be given out to three lucky fans!
All you need to do to enter is submit your questions through Twitter or Facebook.
The three characters illustrated, chosen by Yoshioka himself, represent three of the villains most memorable to him:
Megatron (from The Transformers)
Galvatron (from The Transformers)
Shredder (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Each of the three illustrations is completely unique!
