The Art of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

I have no reason why they selected the artist they did for the cover. I think the cover is terrible, but the art inside the book is done by their lead concept artist and it is absolutely amazing. Extremely talented concept artist and the book delivers with tons of his sketches and comments on the thought process that went into all the iterations of each design. I collect a lot of art books and this one is definitely worth the money.

Strong and sturdy with gorgeous high quality pages depicting concept art from Lords of Shadow, Mirror of Fate, and Lords of Shadow 2. Also shows scenes from Mirror of Fate in early storyboards, which is always very interesting to see. Wonderful collectible piece for any diehard Castlevania fan and an amazing asset for any prospective concept artists out there.

My first art book, what an amazing purchase. I'm no artist or anything like it, but I love to appreciate it they process artist go through to create characters and places.

Wrapped in plastic. Slipcover, hardcover, dent free, high gloss. Like many video game art books, this includes development boards, liner notes and full page depictions of highly stylized finished designs. Done as well as any other. More digital drawings included than by hand.

Great art, while it not not contain the complete works of any one game it offers a nice variety of all 3 games. I wish it contained any of the in-game bestiary or character profiles that Jorge Benedito drew, that in itself could fill its own book. Not even Kojima herself drew every monster and character in game. Definitely for anyone whos a fan of the series, old or new.

I purchased this for a friend but had to page through it first to verify it's quality. The content covers the first Lord of Shadow game very extensively. The backstory summations of important characters alongside many illustrations give the book a very cohesive and useful tone for fans. It also covers the new sequel to Lords of Shadow but its more of a late addition compared to the breadth of content about the first game. If you're a fan that enjoyed the art of the series it is easy to recommend purchasing it.

Arrived quickly, matches description and pictures. Definitely a wonderful purchase. apx. 12 x 9 x 3/4 inches in dimension. Filled with gloss finished pages and the amazing artwork of Martin Robinson. I am more than excited to have this as part of my collection. Thank you!

the book is great and pack with a lot of art works from the game. I would recommend this to any fan or concept artist in the industry. great concept and a lot of early concept pieces. takes you more in depth of the world of Castlevania

La serie in sè ha decenni di storia, ma la qualità grafica e artistica di queste ultime pubblicazioni è immensa. Un vero piacere per gli occhi, quasi ogni illustrazione ha un minimo di studio e di sviluppo, di alternative e di varianti. Il lavoro che ne emerge è sublime, salta all'occhio la cura dei dettagli e la quantità di contenuti e scelte che sono stati inseriti. Il libro è molto bello, di dimensioni giuste per apprezzare i disegni. Il prezzo è molto variato nel tempo qui su amazon, quindi è un fattore che può aver influito sulle recensioni in vario modo.

Als Fan der Reihe finde ich es sehr sehr schön gemacht. Tolle Bilder zu den jeweiligen Abschnitten. Gut auch der Text als Background Info. Daumen hoch.

Belle découverte pour un amateur de fantasy et de figurines comme moi.

Love the art !

El libro me llegó en buenas condiciones, tiene un par de hojas con un detalle pero nada fuerte. Tiene calidad de impresión. Al terminar el libro te deja la sensación de que debería de tener más páginas. Para todo fan de Castlevania y de la saga Lords of Shadow es un libro que acompaña perfectamente a la colección de videojuegos.
