Not yet. Closest you'll get is the pre-order bonus books and the KH Ultimanias. I'm guessing the mainline Disney characters prevent them from selling a fully-fledged book.

Yo is there like a general Capcom artbook? Not any specific series, just a mix of good stuff from Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, Rival Schools, RE, DMC, and maybe some arcade games like Red Earth etc?
I really like Shinkiro, does he have a book?

There's Capcom Design Works and Capcom Visual Works 2004-2014 which are both fantastic.
The Amano biography is starting to release in comic shops. Apparently the limited edition is about 5000 copies, far more reasonable than the 1000 signed copies of The Sky they released. Comes with signature, Blu-Ray documentary, Paris sketchbook, and two prints (Terra & Vampire Hunter D)
Crunchyroll has a preview of the translation from French, which seems quite good: https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-n...artist-yoshitaka-amanos-illustrated-biography
ffs, now i need to figure out how to get my hands on that.
Thank you all.
Yeah I was looking at The Archives and it seemed like an Ok Artbook. That one comes in 2 parts yes? Which one is better?
I think the idea of lore sounds great, but I'd definitely love to see a comprehensive history of Art. Especially the lost games like 1.5, 3 (when it was Hunk on a boat) he 3.5
btw, there's 70 pages book preview on Google Books – https://books.google.by/books/about...p_read_button&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false
Parka blogs at parkablogs.com is pretty useful. His reviews are fairly basic, but I like his blog mostly because he shows me new stuff coming out I didn't even know exists
Thats a great one. I already have Halycon Realms subbed, but he is a bit to asia-focused for me, but parklblogs appears to have a great general overview
Parka Blogs is really the "best" place for Videogame Artbook reviews, short and concise, keeping it about the artbook only without the history of the game. It's definitely a niche market.
I forgot about that guy. Does he still post his video clips on Amazon? Those things were super helpful.
Yeah and on his blog.
I'm glad I picked up the MGS set when I did 2 weeks ago off Amazon for $49. The price skyrocketed again close to $70. lol

How does one add one ?
Hit me up with a cover art and I'll do my best
As the OP, you should be able to see a "Cover" dropdown button at the top of the page, below where the actual cover image is and next to some other thread buttons.
Ordered from co.uk at the beginning of November when it dropped to £43.54 for the day but the delivery date is... 26th January :(
They recommend at least 600x1000 and max 250kb size limit. The image in the first post might work fine.
I have no Photoshop skills myself...
Imported the SFA2 versus guide on a whim, not sure if it's got any different art to any of the SF art books but it comes with a sweet poster!
A VF2 comic by Katsuya Terada, it has a mini gallery with some amazing illustrations in it
I've been after this book for a while and it's a little disappointing, not in terms of art but the layout, amazing artwork squeezed into the corners :/
Some nice background art in this (I still need to see the movie)
Couple more Art of Mario Odyssey shots and a page from the Zelda BOTW creating a champion book

I don't see any cover dropdown. maybe it not active just yet ?
Oh shoot, for real? Is this for both desktop and mobile? On mobile you should be able to see it below the "Prev" button. At least on the phone resolution I've got.
Yeah. I don't think it's active yet. I don't have the option on the thread I made earlier today either.
Oh, huh. Strange. I thought it was already up. Will investigate this some more. Thanks for the feedback!

I need that (translated) Mario Odyssey book BADLY!
Thanks!
Has to grab this one
Incredible display!Just setup a new shelf, all books are unsorted, but I'm glad it's done!
How come most of them are still sealed?Just setup a new shelf, all books are unsorted, but I'm glad it's done!
I had debated for a while doing a series of videos going through the books separately from cover to cover, with some, or minimal history/facts of said games the artbooks covered; just been a stressful time.

That's pretty cool, wish I could display my books and figures like that, may I ask where you got those shelves? I've been meaning to try find a decent shelf for my art room.
The big one is a Billy bookcase, and the small one I can't recall the name, both from Ikea.
OP

it really is more fancy having black or dark bookshelves. I have both, black & white and the white looks very cheap
That's why white is like $20 cheaper at Ikea than the other colors lol.
I go with the pine because it matches the other furniture.
Ah, I see, well I was debating on getting the Billy and guess that settles it, hahaha.
The black color does look nice.
The BILLY also holds up to 60lbs per shelf, according to the info.

I tried to play with the new cover system with the actual banner. It's too wide for the new format. If anyone feel like making a better one, go ahead I'll use it !
Or should I just use a weekly/ monthly book cover of the next big release ?
Would you like a rotation on the cover ?
Will the mods allow a rotation of the cover art like this ? XD

That sounds fun. Of course, having Bayo up there full time is a-ok with me too. =)
