Any of you guys own game art books? Opinions on them? I'm interested in getting Dark Souls: Design Works and a few others soon.

I have hyrule historia and the okami enemy book
where do you buy yours?
>>320998082
I'm just looking at a few right now, I'll probably get them from Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Also how's the Okami book? It looks amazing

>tfw no Chester's Black Zweihander in game
>even though you can see it at Artotias' grave
I have one of the Mass Effect art books. Some cool concept art in there.
I have Hyrule Historia, Dark Souls and Halo art books. Maybe another I can't remember. They're gifts.
The Art of Street Fighter was pretty good too
>>320998243
It's just... a book?
I mean, the art is amazing but there's really not much to say about it.
>>320997883
I have every MGS related art book. even all the jap only ones. Spent 100s of woolongs but it was worth it for all that amazing Shinkawa artwork. Some of the concepts are amazing and baffle me as to why they were never used.

America. Only glanced at the Amazon listing.
>>320999743
Found it for £30 a couple of weeks ago

Hello, yes, I fear I may be retarded.
I did say I was American.Turns out that listing was for $35.
>>321000661
To be fair though, it's pretty fucked.
a coupleevangelionartbooks but nothing vidya related. planning on pucking up the dragons dogma design works book though
>>321000835
what the fuck
I dig the look of the soldiers and all the props
>>321001041
I've never bought any anime ones. Are they any good? i cant imagine they have a lot of concepts. or i might be wrong.
>>321001051
Wait maybe I'm not retarded. I could have sworn this is what I saw, but I tabbed back in an it was 34.45?
>>321001261
the untranslated one has a normal price, but i have no idea why the american listing for the translated edition has such an inflated price
>>321001401
Paying extra for translated moon runes. Makes sense.
>>321001214
it depends on the series & the book itself. some are full of concept sketches or production pencils like this one, but others are more like collections of illustrations.
Here are the scans.

The DarkSouls design works was really disappointing. I have like 15 art books but I can't remember which ones the last one I got was the SoulCalibur 5 art book.
>>321001904
Oh wow, that is some cool shit. I love work like that. So it has more detailed sketches of the units? That's pretty cool.
>>320999495
Based shinkawa. His art is so fucking awesome. God that technique of his...
>>321002850
I have all the ZOE books too. They are also fantastic.
>>320997883
Eyes of Bayonetta is great, has a lot of in-depth commentary from Kamiya and Shimazaki.
Eyes of Bayonetta 2 is less great, and only in Japanese right now. Still decent, but disappointing compared to the first.
>>321002690
yeah, that one is by ikuto yamashita, the guy who did all the technical design for the series. mostly focuses on early eva concepts and how their look evolved
I have the MGS 4 Master Art Works. My first and only at the moment. I was looking for the TPP one but...
>>321003452
Might hunt down some copies of that shit. Looks really cool.
>>321003597
But what?
>>321003620
well you're in luck, it's 30$ on amazon
>>321004064
Score. Bought and payed for. Thanks chief.
I bought that one To-Love Ru artbook which then lead me to buy a Mass Effect art book....
I don't even play Mass Effect.
>>321003942
Well, it isn't gonna release. Ive gave up. The only artwork I have came with the piggybank walktrough, wich is nice by the way.
Most of those Udon Capcom art books are legitimately pretty great.
>>321005810
I got one of the street fighter art books and I have to say its fucking great man the pic of chun in a bathing suit made me cum like 10000000 times.
