5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent book, November 18, 2005

This review is from: Parting the Veil: The Art of Nene Thomas

Wherein you will find dragons, faeries, warriors, horses, Japanese Anime inspired pieces, sketches, and more. This is the perfect book to sit back and relax to with your favorite drink in hand. Her detail and imagination are awe inspiring.

I have been an admirer of her work for a little over a year, and soon after I picked up my copy of Amy Brown's art book, I secretly hoped that Ms. Nene Thomas would put one out as well. I was not disappointed and purchased a signed copy off her website, [...]. I marvel at it everytime I travel through its pages.

If you enjoy the aforementioned subjects, or you have an appreciation for fantasy art the likes of Amy Brown, Jessica Galbreth, and Ruth Thompson, then treat yourself to this book. You will not be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful art, problems with picture quality, January 17, 2008

This review is from: Parting the Veil: The Art of Nene Thomas

I am a fan of Nene Thomas's artwork. Her drawings of fairies, queens, horses, and other fantasy themes are generally highly detailed and textured. Her colors are very rich, whether she's working in watercolor or computer.

That said, I was very disappointed with the quality of the art in this book. While it contains images of many of her best peices, the pictures are badly pixelated (grainy) and the colors and brightness uneven. Basically, the book needed much better quality control on the layout and printing side. Unfortunately, since this is an artbook, the graphics quality is critical to the value of the book. I'm sad to say that I got this and it has basically been just taking up space on my shelf because the reproductions were so bad.
