5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, sick and good, September 18, 2010
This review is from: The Art of Resident Evil 5 (Paperback)
Length:: 0:48 Mins

This is actually the translated version of the Japanese book "Biohazard 5 Official Art Works", published in 2009. It's finally being translated and published by Udon Entertainment. Better late than never.

It contains the concept art for the characters, creatures, zombies, environment as well as interviews and some discarded visual ideas. The art comes in the form of sketches, coloured illustrations and 3D computer graphics. The high resolution in-game character profiles look really good.

For fans of anything zombies, these book has plenty to delight you. The designs for the undead and creatures are very cool. There are worm infested zombies, rotting dogs, plenty of tentacled disgusting lifeforms and gruesome mutations. This world is pretty sick.

The chapters follow the game play, presenting art for the areas and then the enemies there. Compared to the characters, there are less art for the locations although there are some storyboards and right at the end are some photos of actors playing the main characters in front of green screens.

Recommended to gamers, sci-fi and game artists.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, poor binding, May 26, 2011
This review is from: The Art of Resident Evil 5 (Paperback)
One star got nipped off because of poor binding
You can hear the crackling sound upon first flip-thru
when I started reading to mid section, all the pages started to fell apart chunk by chunk.

As for the art content, if you like this game's design work, you will love this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price, It will serve your foundation in drawing a perfect character some day!, December 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Resident Evil 5 (Paperback)
This art book will satisfy your creative needs who sees the drawing of characters and monsters to be a important aspect of a video game (in my opinion for video games; Appearences are Everything! especially determined by how good the art is craftily well-drawn such as this. I have used this book for my foundations in sketching characters (because of this it made me want to sketch my imagination and real places that I wish to go such as London/Paris). To the point, all the pages within this book are worth everything for its price, heavily Colored and detailed! especially the environment paintings, development sketches, storyboards progress, and the character designs! One word to sum it all up: Brilliant...
