Customer comments on this selection.
 gaming art and design reference
I actually bought this book for my daughter, an art major looking for inspiration in game design. She is familiar with Stephan Martiniere, having sat in on a 2 day workshop taught by him in Pasasdena. Overall, she is very happy with the selection of artists and their works. The reason that I gave it 4 stars is that there a couple of artist's examples that she just didn't like.
Nice Book
I found there to be too much character creature creation - aren't you glad we're all different? I really liked the landscape environmental work - especially since the current push in video games is to make them more cinematic I see a need for vast improvement in landscapes environments, needed by me to draw me into the game. And I really enjoyed the comments by the artists.
Interesting background for gaming
Lots of background for each individual painting is done by the artist who created the painting. They try to describe the mood, atmosphere, and feeling desired for each painting. Emphasis is given to environments and backgrounds, although there is a fair amount of character development and creature creation. Most paintings are finished work and not much preliminary work is shown.
