I'm a sucker for art books, so here's some stuff I've picked up lately: various Magic: The Gathering art books and a couple of graphic novels. While I've not gone through each book the whole way through, I'd still like to share some initial thoughts on each.

(1/5)

Several Magic: The Gathering themed books. At the top left are the small A Visual History books, Rise of the Gatewatch and Legends, published by Abrams ComicArts. The bottom left has Magic: The Gathering: The Visual Guide published by DK. On the right side are volumes one and two of the Magic comic book series by Boom! Studios.

One more page of the Erra: Exordium game artbook. When we translate it into English, there will be two versions of the artbook in Steam

Do you sell artbooks in the Steam of your games, can you give an example?

At first, I thought that the electronic version of the artbook of the game would be sold for little money, $1-3 for Steam. But now I'm thinking, maybe it should be for free...

Slowly but surely, I will post all of the images that have been included in my Heart in Paradise art book but that haven't be publicly shared yet <:

Here's a portrait of #XiaoZhan as #WeiWuxian - I hope you like it 💙

The series is still sitting in my backlog. 😅

Released in 2000 exclusively in Japan, this comprehensive "World Guidance" art book covers everything you'd want to know about 📚

Early birthday present from my family.
(my birthday is the 23rd. Got express shipping to make sure it delivered to my door)

So excited to look at beautiful robots.

Robots 1:2 is a photography book of the collection at Vitra Design Museum.
Picured is the first and last robot in the book (details in alt text). I've always been interested in these early tin robots

The Electric State by Simon Stålenhag is sort of an art book and a sci-fi narrative/(fantasy)American roadtrip.
Haven't read anything by him yet, but I fell in love with the illustrations. So excited to explore his world

Third is Anime Arcitecture - Imagined Worlds and Endless Megacities by Stefan Riekeles (more in next post)

  • I really tried with the alt text but am kinda guessing a lot

Robot Lilliput P: KT D: Kuramochi Shoten, CK Clockwork Japan 1937 15.2 cm Small orange tin robot with a square face with a big nose and open mouth with 5 pointy teeth. It looks a bit derpy. It has a tube and 3 dials illustrated on its chest, and the designation NP 5357
Pes Pluto P: Hardtmuth N.P D: Koh-I-Nor Battery operated Czechoslovakia 1976 12 cm On the left is a cardboard box with the robot dog illustrated on On the right: Robot dog pez dispenser. The head and feet are red, the body is light blue. Its upper jaw has yellow and black warning stripes and its nose is a little red ball. The body seems to have a little internal motor connected with yellow wires to a red battery and some dials. It looks to have 2 circular cut outs above its legs showing the red underneath. Its tail is 3 decreasing in size balls in the colors blue, red, yellow. The illustration on the box shows it having 2 yellow balls as ears, but these are not replicated on the tin robot
Inside of Electric State. Theres text on the left (too small to read). The main illustration is a landscape with trees, mountains and grey skies. A small car is driving alone on a curvy road. On the hill is a very pointy sci-fi looking fighter plane? It is broken down and decorated with a cartoon cat licking its mouth at the top. The cat has a turret sticking out of it. On the side of the plane is painted U.S Air Force

Oh wow 🤩 #VinylMoon have really outdone themselves with this month's #record! Their releases are each a work of art themselves, partnering with artists to create unique jackets and other included items or artifacts along with a beautifully crafted colored record.

This month they worked with aerial #photographer Bernard Lang and included an entire #ArtBook! 🤩 I'm going to make some tea and put this on for a listen while I flip through these photos :comfytea:

We finally released a digital free artbook as DLC. After launching the game, the artbook is downloaded to the game folder Erra: Exordium, so look for the pdf there

While I'm working on porting the game to console, the artist continue to work on the artbook. This will be an interesting content that will explain many details of the game

Anybody have this one❓

It was released in 2005 as part of the City of Villains Collector's DVD Edition bundle. 📀

First half = City of Heroes; and by flipping it around, the other half is based on City of Villains! ↩️

The in me: Forest hike cancelled, too much storm.
The in me: Work cancelled at only 7 °C.
The in me: Plants hand-dyed cotton gauze and colourful silk ribbons into compost soil to breed new colours. 🤭
The in me: Rummages around in the studio to find ideas.
Fortunately, I am many! 😂

My girlfriend recently gave me the Akira Toriyama Dragon Quest Illustrations book from Japan as a birthday gift and it's awesome.

I love the way the watercolor (or perhaps ink? Can never tell...) illustrations look for the monster and character concept illustrations. Highly recommend this book for any artist out there who happens to also like RPGs.

Great to see not 1, but TWO books included with the Limited Collector’s Edition of ❗️

Looks like a 60+ page Illustration Album, and a 60+ page Game Guide.
