Goro Fujita – Are VR Comics Coming?
❝ I’m now convinced that VR comics will be a thing! 😀 Took a dragon ball page and made a #VR #Quill version of it. Check it out in VR in #FacebookSpaces! ❞
I randomly came across these animations by Goro Fujita on Twitter. Great stuff and I think after looking at these samples that VR comics could be a thing too. In addition to his blog, you can check out more of his illustration and animation work at Deviant Art, Instagram and Facebook.

From Goro Fujita’s about page on blogspot:
I was born in Japan and moved with my family to Germany when I was two and a half years old. I have been fascinated by drawing ever since I was a little child. After finishing highschool I founded a company called “Quaintix” with a friend of mine for graphic design and programming work. Meanwhile I got interested in 3D animation and started to play around with cubes and spheres.
In 2002 I left Quaintix and I started my studies at the German Film School for digital production. My passion for animation grew stronger and drawing remained as a hobby. During the 3 years I spent there, I gained a lot of experience in many areas like the whole 2D and 3D filmmaking process from the initial Idea to the finished piece, working in teams, digital painting etc. I graduated the German Film School in march 2005 specialized on 3D character animation.
Since then I was working as a freelance character Animator and Visual Development Artist on feature films and tv comercials in Germany. In 2008 I moved to the United States and worked at DreamWorks Animation for 7 years.
I’m currently an Art Director at Oculus Story Studio in San Francisco.Goro Fujita Dragon Ball 01Goro Fujita Dragon Ball 01
