I actually drew them. Basically started as a fan art project, but then during the lead-up to LotV I got to get contracted to get feedback and approval from Blizzard to make a cleaned-up version with a bunch of new drawings and the LotV units, and now it appears in print at the end of the StarCraft Field Manual, which also came with the LotV collectors edition.

So, the sizes do have ~some~ level of Blizzard approval, but they also are just drawings, not always 100% accurate, and the approval process was sometimes more along the lines of "let's try scaling down the science vessel to 85% of the old size," more about relative sizes than pinning down exact dimensions and specifications. Also, like, take the corsair, that's my own mashup of the SCBW design and the new LotV model, so its dimensions wouldn't precisely match either one anyway.

And of course within the games themselves there are inconsistencies, and sometimes weird tensions between game logic and the real sizes. Like, the dropships shown in SC2 clearly aren't big enough to carry multiple vikings, while they can in-game. I also think they didn't originally intend for Leviathans to be as big as I thought when I drew it.

Basically my thinking for all the Zerg units is that they probably exist at a range of sizes, regular new overlords that are just hanging out over hatcheries could be smaller, but then for a bigger hive much bigger overlords with ventral sacs could grow from the smaller ones when they were needed. And even between individuals there would be variation. So feel free to take all the Zerg units with as big a grain of salt as you like.

(Though there is this piece of official art showing a marine in the foreground of an overlord where he can't be bigger than its head, mine's not too far from that.)

On German Amazon you can now find some pages from the book „the Art of Sea of Thieves“

The wiki would be the best place to start. It's constantly updated whenever new material is released, so it's often up to date even on things like the novels or comics.

If you don't mind spending some money, I would suggest World of Thedas as being an excellent compendium and overview on the world of Dragon Age. It covers the lore up to Asunder. I do want to stress that it is just an overview; the wiki is a lot more in-depth but WoT is useful if you're particularly new on the lore side of things.

But if you've played DA2 and its DLCs, you're pretty much up to date on the known lore. The novels Asunder and The Masked Empire would be the only things I would suggest you look into, as both novels serve to set up several different potential plots in DA:I. But you can read the basics on both of those novels on the wiki lol.

Those are really cool. Hadn't heard of any of them, but looked them up. From left to right it looks like they're:

u/NettoSaito · 10 pointsr/BattleNetwork

They are finally having a reprint

https://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-Battle-Network-Hardcover/dp/1772941123/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=battle+network+complete+works+book&qid=1558899569&s=gateway&sr=8-2

The complete works books are cool because they talk about little known facts about character design, and even story. I especially like the Zero one because it mentions how the series was working to reach Legends, and what parts of the story they considered when going forward. For example they officially recognize the tower at the end of Zero 1 as the Orbital Elevator from X8.

u/muffmunchkin · 10 pointsr/dragonage

I now have a copy of "The World of Thedas." It contains a very interesting chapter about magic, including blood magic. Here are several excerpts about blood magic from the book. The last example in particular gives a chilling perspective to (Redcliffe Spoilers)letting Isolde sacrifice herself to save Connor.

The Cost of Blood Magic

"The more violent the pain or death used in blood magic, the more powerful a spell becomes."

"Mages who experiment with blood magic are more susceptible to demonic spirits, such as pride demons, and risk becoming abominations by way of possession."

The Chantry's Stance

"Using pain or death to cast or strengthen spells is forbidden throughout Thedas."

"Chantry faithful believe those who practice blood magic are criminals, as common wisdom holds there is no way to use blood magic with good intentions.

They say all blood mages who use their own blood will eventually find themselves tempted by the additional power to be gained from spilling the blood of others."

Blood Magic in the Imperium

"While blood magic is discouraged even in the pro-mage Imperium, it is still widely, if quietly practiced there...even the most devout mage in the Imperial Chantry knows at least a little blood magic."

"The Ancient Tevinter magisters were the first to experiment with blood magic. They saw it as a means to achieve greater power in all schools. Over time, they discovered spells that could only be worked by spilling blood. Rituals involving violence became a significant part of the Old God worship, and blood mages rose to incredible heights of power and influence."

(Excerpts from) Letter from Magister Easthia to her apprentice, 7:71 Storm

"While it is true that blood magic is woven through the history of Tevinter, there are good reasons, quite aside from the Chantry's sermons, that such arts are now frowned upon...

When their spells exhausted their lyrium supply, the magisters spilled the blood of countless slaves. To what end? The shifting nature of the Fade made the effort futiele, and so much death left the magisters open to posession by demons. Wasteful!...

And what of Magister Calanthus, that fool who believed he could make himself the "Ascended Man" with blood magic? Thirty-three slaves died in that rite, and Calanthus became an abomination so horrific that his apprentices tore out their eyes at the sight of him.

You quote the examples of of the lovers Crescens and Seraphinian. yes, Seraphinian offered his own blood to cure Crescens of her wasting disease, and Crescens lived a long life. But if the noblest of blood magic still calls for the death of a good man, is that not enough reason to reconsider?

here's a link if anyone wants to purchase. One of the reviews also has a video skimming through the book's pages.

u/CheraFox · 7 pointsr/Guildwars2

For those who don't know, this book comes in a physical hardcover release as well. It already has a page on amazon, tho the pre-purchase is not available yet: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1506715990/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2APWROYZYJ96J&keywords=guild+wars+art+book&qid=1566909698&s=gateway&sprefix=guild+wars+a%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-3

u/Katekuna · 7 pointsr/modernwarfare
u/JnRx03 · 6 pointsr/SpidermanPS4

I have a lot to say on this, as i've been contemplating it for a while, so please bare with me. TL;DR at the bottom.


Personally, i'm relieved but only because I get to save money by choosing not to get it. Gamestop was going to charge me $180 after shipping to get it day 1, and even then I cringed at that amount considering what i'm getting.

  1. The statue looks meh, compared to actual figures that sell for half $40 and the base looks like a metallic turd, I know it sounds like i'm being crude, but if you look at it you'll see what I mean.

  2. I would've rather had spider-man perching on a building or something. Similar to this I paid less than $20 for that and it's more creative than the statue, I know it's smaller, but the art direction of it screams Spider-man.

  3. As far as it being "sought after" I think that's just the thing with collector's and special editions. They sell you on the promise that they'll be limited or "Special" or something unique, and like the fans we are we spring to get it even if it cost way more than it's worth and even if the main focus is the game itself.

  4. The steelbook looks nice, like all steelbooks, it's just an aluminum case made to look "premium" compared to the plastic case. If i'm being honest you can probably buy a custom made one on Ebay or Etsy if really want one.

  5. The art book is a mini art book, which is cool, but if you're looking for something fully fledged you may be better off getting This it's the actual full fledged art book, and it only cost $20ish.

  6. As far as the season pass goes, it's nice, but like with all season passes, i don't really like paying for content i'm not sure is good before it's even out. That said, i'm sure the DLC will be good or at least decent...if anything it's an excuse to play the game more.

    TL;DR: The statue is a let down and not that high quality, Anything collectable or special will be snatched up due to it's perceived "limited" nature, either by fans or scalpers, Steelbook is okay, but nothing special, You can get the actual full art book, and Season passes are iffy for me.

    All in all not worth $180 (or the price of the game 3 times) to me. For the price of the CE I can buy the game, art book, and still have money left over to pre order Red Dead Redemption 2.

u/Hoewhoew · 6 pointsr/Guildwars2

Don't worry, it's on Amazon as well. At least on the German one, I've been able to find it quite easily.

Well Pokemon releases pokedex books periodically. There are some monster compendiums on itch.io, such as Apple Quest Monsters.

https://splendidland.itch.io/apple-quest-monsters

Really love this fake game monsterpedia, has a deluxe version

https://splendidland.bigcartel.com/product/apple-quest-monsters-dx


Wikipedia usually has a good compendium of monster entries for most series.

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/

Or

http://www.pokestadium.com/tools/sprites

Has all Pokemon sprites from most games on it.

Not sure exactly if this is what you're looking for though


https://www.spriters-resource.com/game_boy_gbc/dwmons/
Has sprite rips from many Gameboy games, I've linked to DQM, but I think they have shin megami on the site as well.

https://www.spriters-resource.com/saturn/shinmegamitenseidevilsummoner/

If you are just looking for images, you can typically search for "gamename sprites" and there will probably be some site that has them.



Many games have artbooks, which typically have detailed drawings of things from their games. Not really laid out in an encyclopedia way, but they have beautiful art.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Official Artworks https://www.amazon.com/dp/1927925584/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_G8RwDb50SEVZJ

If you like lore and monsters, dungeon and dragons Monster Manuals typically have a huge variety of monsters and little blurbs about each one. If you ignore the monster stats, it has great pictures on most pages and descriptions.

Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual (Core Rulebook, D&D Roleplaying Game) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786965614/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xaSwDbE1TX9MN

Ty. Cleaned the link, see below. Btw if Amazon sells the same item in different countries, it often has the same reference. So no need to search on amazon sites on by one to find it for your country (or to find that it's a lot cheaper to order something abroad) : you can simply replace the domain.

There's an artbook, yeah

This isn't in that, it's from a booklet that was bundled with some of the pre-orders, but there's an artbook.

u/pjmlp · 5 pointsr/gamedev

Some game development related books and articles that I went through the 90's.

Thanks for sharing this! I just got the limited edition for $54 down from $100

Definitely The World of Thedas Volume 1

There's also a volume 2 due out next May.

u/TheCrowsNest_SoT · 3 pointsr/Seaofthieves

This is from the upcoming art book- The Art of Sea of Thieves - set to be released next month. You can find it on Amazon here: Link to Book

u/fragmaster3000 · 3 pointsr/Bioshock

That's the "sample" booklet that came with the Collector's Edition of the game. It's a lot smaller and indeed has only 64 pages, with art that's taken from the bigger version.

That version is for sale at amazon for a reasonable price (I payed a lot more for mine :') )

u/LootboxCancer · 3 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

Here it is on Amazon. It is probably available on the Bungie store, too, though I haven’t checked.

u/Subsourian · 3 pointsr/starcraft

If you're looking for lore with cool graphics, the best source is the StarCraft Field Manual, an in-universe lorebook which goes through the tech and history of the units and the sector:

https://www.amazon.com/StarCraft-II-Manual-Rick-Barba/dp/1608874508

There sadly is no Khalani glossary, supposedly Blizzard has one but nobody's ever seen it. I'd love it as much as you.

There's plenty of amazing text books if you're looking for hard novels, my recommended starting points are I, Mengsk, StarCraft: Ghost: Nova, and Heaven's Devils. But most of the books fill in gaps in the universe, so you can start most places and be fine.

For visual stuff, Frontline is a mixed bag but has some great art (and some not so great art), but its got a massive diversity when it comes to content. The current Dark Horse run is also really solid (Scavengers, Soldiers, in a few weeks Survivors).

u/khrist_ · 3 pointsr/Cyberpunk

It was an early sketch for the wards on the Citadel, just got the art book its great.

u/DragonWhiro · 3 pointsr/Seaofthieves

I bought some lore books on amazon a while back, I forget the names off the top of my head.

But they talked about the three main fractions.

book 1

book 2

art book ‘soft/ implied lore but nothing fancy’

I don’t own this, looks like a comic

u/OkenoFate · 3 pointsr/fatestaynight

What you are looking for is DEFINITELY the Fate/Complete Material Volume 2, which has been released in English. You can find on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Fate-Complete-Material-Character/dp/1772940135

u/Vel0Xx · 3 pointsr/Overwatch

u/aikouka · 3 pointsr/Overwatch

Here are links to Amazon for the NORMAL and LIMITED EDITION versions. Also, if you like the comics, here's a link to the Anthology Volume 1.

I figured I'd provide the links after I saw searching that for "Art of Overwatch" turned up some slightly risque images of Overwatch's female heroes. =P

u/seburoh · 3 pointsr/gamegrumps

It's nuts yeah. We can see reused assets, especially early on, but by the end that's all a bunch of new stuff, and on top of that the level design and story hooks had to all be made, and that's some effort.

The closest we have to a documentary on the development processes are actually the Design Works books. Two exist, one for Dark Souls, one for Dark Souls 2, and they are full of interviews about the development of those games. The DkS1 book is awesome, full of a bunch of information which is fantastic as well as some really insightful concept art. I look over my copy every couple weeks it seems, just because it's really cool and I always learn something new while poking at it. Covers a lot, including Izalith's development problems, the swap of the tutorial boss, etc. The book for DkS2 comes out Feb 9 in English, and I'll be picking it up day one. Through translations and stuff it's already known that had gigantic development problems (swapping directors like, halfway through), so it should be a really interesting read. I don't know of one for Bloodborne, though I know the FuturePress guides should have had interviews and the like in them (The Old Hunters one also has a 'lore bible' of sorts, a primer basically for the fundamentals which should be pretty cool), so that may be the closest we get. I intend to pick those up at the same time I pick up the DkS2 Design Works, and do some binge reading afterward.

u/robotsdev · 3 pointsr/gamedev

It's for programming, and "a bit" heavy, but the "game programming gems" book series is pretty good.

http://www.amazon.com/Game-Programming-Gems-CD/dp/1584500492

u/pyromartian · 3 pointsr/starcraft

I know that some people have had the book for a while now, but I wanted to let people know that amazon is fulfilling orders.

If you are interested in the book get it here.

u/achacha · 3 pointsr/cpp
u/almeisan · 3 pointsr/masseffect

There is; I got it from amazon.co.uk where it's 50% off right now, at about 15 GBP.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1595827684/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It's pretty thorough, covers concept art for all three games, some 180 pages altogether.

u/smokegetsinyoureye · 2 pointsr/uncharted

Looks like you can buy one version of this book from the Google Play store for $21.99 USD.

There appear to be two versions of The Art of the Uncharted Trilogy -- the regular one and the limited edition one. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two books, though.

u/rubBeaurdawg · 2 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

Less expensive at Amazon, even after the crimsondays discount. Even better with Amazon's free shipping compared to Bungie's absolutely terrible rates.

https://www.amazon.com/Art-Destiny-2-Bungie/dp/168383111X

u/neostar6171 · 2 pointsr/Megaten

Thats not the artbook, this is the artbook:

https://www.amazon.com/Shin-Megami-Tensei-IV-Official/dp/1927925584

That was a literal guide for the first 8th of the game with some art in it so it has more purpose than just being a guide.

These don't start from the beginning, but the Game Programming Gems series is amazing for aspiring game programmers.

u/mementomary · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

When we got our first nintendo (an N64), I was 12 or 13, and the first game we played was MarioKart. There were 4 controllers, one for each of us kids, while my parents watched. We played for hours, my older brother always winning and laughing at us. Finally, sick of her oldest son's gloating, my mom took my younger brother's controller and played. She wiped the floor with all of us, looked straight at my older brother and said "HA HA", then walked away. My little siblings were shocked, they had never seen Mom play a game. Little did they know, she was the Queen of Out Run on the Sega Master System.

I don't know why it was so funny, but it's something I always think about when I play that game. :) Probably because I'm still a kid at heart! :D this video game related book is not $31, but shipping costs a bit more up here :)

Book of Cain is the official lore book. It came out around Diablo 3 so it has the D3 logo, but that's just for advertising the game. I got it a while back and it's pretty awesome!

Edit: If you want to save some money you could always see what offers there are on ebay. I got my copy there for like $6-7

u/Nyxm · 2 pointsr/diablo3

A great video adaptation of the Book of Cain, except one small niggle: The Triune was a front for the three Prime Evils And was led by Lucion, son of Mephisto.

If you haven’t read the book (or played the original games), I’d highly suggest if you’re into the lore of the game. Filled in the blanks like a champ!

u/THELegend8201 · 2 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

Bungie store is probably your best shot, but I did see that Insert Coin Clothing has started a Destiny clothing line. Personally, I am looking at getting the Art of Destiny book because Bungie has made such a beautiful game and I never really have the time to take it all in.

Theres Art of Eorzea, as well as the Heavensward Artbook.

There's The Dawn, and the Art of Final Fantasy XV will be released around December 2017.

I really enjoy the Art of Eorzea since the artstyle is right up my alley and just love Akihiko Yoshida, Masao, and Namae's artstyles too bad they left the team :(.

If you dont mind, there's also The Tactics Ogre Artbook that's primarily by Tsubasa Masao, under the tutelage of Akihiko Yoshida, who both worked on Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII (iirc), and Final Fantasy XIV.

u/DarthJudas · 1 pointr/dragonage

I've read all the books but if your interested in learning more about the lore and the setting I would recommend The World of Thedas book.

u/watsoned · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

There are many things on my list. But if I had to pick, I would say either the BluRay of Ash Vs. Evil Dead or The Art of the Uncharted Trilogy which can be found used in good shape for less than $25.

I have an offering of a single tator tot for Queen Lily, for I am from a poor country and have little to offer in the way of fried potatoes.

Where have you been all my life, Chris?

u/Criff713 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

This seems pretty cool, don't really need it for the strategy as much as it will be a nice collectible with some goodies inside. I know you can get every answer online now, but it's something about being a little old-school with this guide. It's more of a extra perk then a benefit.

I was also wondering does anyone know much about the The Art of Destiny it's on Amazon for $32.21 and isn't scheduled for delivery until December 16th. Thoughts?

u/UnknowNapkin · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

If you're looking for just art, may I suggest these?

Art Book and
Poster Book

u/TonyFair · 1 pointr/FinalFantasy

This artbook has this image (I don't remember if it's full page, sorry). Maaaaybe you could buy it and frame the page, or scan/edit/print it, or even take a photo in film in order to have a bigger print in hands...

u/TitoHashbrown · 1 pointr/FinalFantasy

Can confirm. I just bought this item last week for $31 plus shipping. Just did a chat with an Amazon rep and was refunded $18 as well. Thanks for the heads up!

To add to this, it is an AWESOME collection and I thought it was a steal for $31, even better at this price.

Does anyone own: http://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Worlds-Fantasy-Yoshitaka-Amano/dp/1593078684/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396380677&sr=1-1&keywords=dawn+the+worlds+of+final+fantasy

I read that it contains a lot of the same artwork and not worth getting if you purchased "The Sky". Was curious how accurate that was.

u/Coopetition · 1 pointr/Seaofthieves

I'm just going to leave this here. Sea of Thieves Art Book

u/gfody · 1 pointr/gamedev

Grab everything ending in "Gems"..

Graphics Gems 1 through 5 (old, 1990-1995, covers everything from the bresenham line algorithm to perspective corrected texture mapping, basically everything you need to build a software 3D engine, not that you'd need to do that today but it's great know how)

GPU Gems 1 through 3 (relatively old, 2004-2007, but the techniques described are still in use: various lighting/shading techniques, procedural textures and geometry, tons of tricks you'd recognize from big titles, book 3 has some gpgpu stuff)

Game Programming Gems 1 through 8 (2000-2010, each book is a tour de force on the techniques used in the games of that era, from AI to audio processing, to window management, whatever you need it's covered, albeit sometimes too concisely but at least you're not trudging through pages after you've already "got it" there's always other books if you need to go deeper)

u/CompetitiveParty · 1 pointr/lootcratespoilers
u/xXGARR377Xx · 1 pointr/modernwarfare

Hi Ashton, are there any differences between the two? I ordered this one a month ago: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1789093511/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

​

But It now says that it is unavailable and there is a new listing with a higher price and more images on it: https://www.amazon.ca/Making-Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare/dp/1950366022/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=making+of+modern+warfare&qid=1567604040&s=gateway&sr=8-1

​

Is the first one that I ordered the UK version? And will my first order still ship or should I cancel my current order and pre-order the second version?

u/AmericanFromAsia · 1 pointr/lifeisstrange

It's an official art book with annotations from Max, Chloe, Rachel, and other Blackwell students.

u/JTazmania · 1 pointr/darksouls

If you have a lot a lot of money, figure out a way to import the trilogy edition of the Dark Souls remaster from Japan. I think it may only be for PS4 but it comes with all the games and a lot of great goodies. Otherwise if money is tighter there are some amazing Art Books (design works) you can buy online. Dark Souls 1 to 3 (3 comes out in August) with some absolutely stunning artwork from the game.

u/Chronofied · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

Yeah, you're right - it would be more. For comparison, I looked at the going price for these two Blizzard books I own:

Starcraft II Field Manual

Diablo III Artbook

And this one as well:

Hyrule Historia

They're all in the $34.99 - $39.99 range. Which I would still totally pay for a nice coffee table Destiny book.

u/RunBoston · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

Not on BungieStore.com, but it's listed for Preorder on Amazon for $27 instead of $45, listed for release on November 28: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Destiny-2-Bungie/dp/168383111X/

u/Diosjenin · 1 pointr/masseffect

The Art of the Mass Effect Universe, on Amazon and most likely other places.

u/TheBaldShreagul · 1 pointr/Bioshock

It’s The Art of BioShock Infinite. Here’s the link to it on amazon

u/BatmanV2 · 1 pointr/gameswap

It's this one, but in Japanese (I think): http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/1593078684 It's mostly pictures, so the language does not matter. I don't even remember how I got it, all I know is that it was awesome. It's a Final Fantasy artbook.

u/CobbFC09 · 1 pointr/uncharted

Says limited edition of 2,000 produced, yet Amazon has a pre-order page up for it. I'm guessing they're getting some too? Not sure if I should order on Amazon for the cheaper price of straight from the Naughty Dog Shop so I can ensure I get one.

u/SomewhatHolmes · 1 pointr/SpidermanPS4

u/GLaDOS_cake · 1 pointr/GirlGamers

I got:
a working NES with Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3, Legend of Zelda (gold cartidge), The Adventures of Link (gold cartidge), Dr. Mario - with the original box!, Mega Man 2, and RC Pro-AM Racing
Posable Mass Effect 3 "Minimates" of ManShep, Ashley, Wrex, and Garrus
Figurines of Link from Phantom Hourglass and Zelda from Ocarina of Time
The Art of the Mass Effect Universe
Mass Effect Library Edition Volume 1
"POP!" figurines of Garrus and Grunt
Steam Gift Card (which has so far purchased Mount and Blade Warband and the Ghostbusters game)
Miniature Bat-signal (it works surprisingly well)
Venture Brothers Season 5 on Blu-ray

My birthday is the day after Christmas, does that also count? I got:
A sweet Hyrule map puzzle
Anamaniacs DVD (Season 1)
My friends sBruced up my batroom (or spruced up my bathroom for the pun intolerant) with a custom blue and white batman symbol bathroom sign affixed to my batroom door, a bat-shower curtain, a classic Detective Comics poster to go with my existing Dark Knight Returns (the comic) poster, a bat-toothbrush/utility holder, a bat-soap dispenser, a bat-rug, and a bat-towel (link also features my existing shower curtain holders).

Not sure if this counts, but I also got a kit to make a working ornithopter (I'm a giant nerd for robots and the like). I also bought The Last Unicorn for myself but I think that's probably cheating.

I am quite pleased...I may have yelled "I HAVE AN NES" five or six times...an hour...all day...
