The Reviews

I got much more out of this than I expected to. I've worked in the industry for 40 years. I am planning now to get rich and buy all of this publisher's books -- I've bought a few and have not been disappointed yet.There are art books you buy, read once, and give to another up-and-coming artist.And there are art books you buy, read a few times, and keep. And, when you need an art gift, you give a copy but still keep yours. And you recommend it in every art forum you participate in. This is that second kind of art book.

This is my first time doing a review but i had to write for this book. 3D publishing did a fantastic job with this book with the breakdown and the know hows of creating and developing a character for any medium in the entertainment industry. This is a must have for any artist inspiring to do their own stories and development and to further your skills as a future vis dev artist.

Awesome book! Awesome artwork! Awesome content and examples! Awesome layout! Awesome tips! Awesome everything! Anything by these guys is well worth the time and money, 3DTotal publishers consistently have the best books! I own a dozen and this one, is by far one of the very best. If you want to be a character designer then this is a MUST have, it should be first on your list! (Side note): I’m a professional artist and I haven’t been rewarded for this in any way. I really love and use these books! Thanks.
