Here's the bits from last night and today. The forearm and upper arm pieces will be connected through the unified background next week. For now, they look like separate pieces, but they're all part of the same moment in the story (again, from the comics, not the anime).
A standalone portion of a building's structural pillar, grafitti'ed with a bloody "A" (for Akira's gang)
The iron rebar (the spindly things poking out the top) aren't colored in yet, because of the background work that's going in behind them. They will be next week.
The pillar has basically landed right on top of the most notable (and beautiful) thing from the entire Akira storyline, Kaneda's bike, and split it in half. Back half:
Front half:
Note: the front of the bike that you know and love is actually laying in chunks on the ground... or will be, next week when the wrist is finished :)
Portions of the military's attempt to restore order to the city right before Akira went off are evident in the foreground. We've only gotten to the tank so far:
To give a sense of what it's all coming together as, here's a few shots of the whole arm:
