Poster design
A quintessential Noriyoshi Ohrai spectacle painting: deep space greens and star‑speckled atmosphere, missile launches ripping upward, and a monumental, airbrushed “future myth” montage that balances human faces with iconic world imagery. It’s pure late‑70s/early‑80s Japanese illustration at full cinematic scale—dramatic lighting, hyper‑real rendering, and operatic apocalypse‑promise.

The artwork is credited to Noriyoshi Ohrai, the legendary illustrator also known for painting many famous poster including the international poster art for The Empire Strikes Back.
