A single work, a single world

The Pictoplasma universe is very rich and well worked. And this book is a very good sample of Pictoplasma's dome.

Everything's fine! : )

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2009

though the product itself is expensive, it really deserves the money spent : )
it's a shame there's very little text, like... it would have been nice to know more about how did they make them or the stuff behind it, but that's fine for me, the amount of pictures is excellent, with a lot of variety.

The best pictoplasma so far!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2007

This is the best book they have released yet. If you already know what pictoplasma is all about, dont exitate, if you are new to this, well pictoplasma is a character design oriented book and they are always looking for the best and more simple designs, like less is more thingy. Great design from so many talented artist around the globe! Definetly a must buy!

Nicely presented

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2008

Excellent value for money. Not all the designs in the book are fantastic, some quite below average. Still, many shine through and make this book truly worthy of any animator/character designers shelf.

I find these types of books indispensable when designing because of their unique views on motion, character and setting.

Superbe ouvrage tres bien réalisé

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on November 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellent livre surperbement realisé...foisonnant d'illustrations de haute qualité, d'artistes differents proposant un contenu tres varié; le soucis du detail et du travail bien fait est present...par exemple, le livre comporte une couverture en simili cuir avec des estampages, et 3 signets de couleurs differentes...excellent ouvrage, de haute qualité. Contenu un peu pauvre en textes...mais etant donné que c'est avant tout une collection d'illustrations, ce n'est pas genant.

読んでて楽しい

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on September 14, 2009

ピクトプラズマとはベルリンを拠点に1999年にスタートして以来、
現代のキャラクターが果たす役割を調査する国際規模の活動を展開してきたプロジェクトであり、
この本にはこれまで参加したクリエイターたちのデザインしたキャラクターが所狭しと載っています

かわいらしいものからグロテスクなものまで、印象に残るさまざまなタイプのキャラクターを見ることができ、
読んでいて飽きません。
キャラクターデザインが好きなら買って損はありません
