The first thing I noticed about the Massive Black art book is that it's titled Volume 1. It's safe to guess that there's going to be other volumes in the future. That is great because this book is very good.
The book is a paperback edition housed inside a slipcase. There are 192 pages and they are relatively glossy. The binding is great too. This book is a fingerprint magnet, and I left a few when I first held it.
Right at the start is an inspiring company's history. You'll get to read about how they started the company with $6000 to build it to a world class art studio where their art workshops look no different from rock concerts.
Inside the pages contain an impressive portfolio of illustrations and concept art created for too many clients. There are character designs, environment paintings and 3D modelings. The level of technical quality is top notch, of course.
Because the clients are mainly from the movie and gaming industry, most of the art pieces relate to the fantasy and sci-fi genre, oftentimes dark. It's like entering a different world just by looking at the paintings, the characters.
Massive Black Volume 1 has managed to put a smile of art lust and fascination on my face. It's highly recommended for concept artists, art directors, video game art lovers and people who just like good art.
Do check out the Massive Black homepage as well, for more illustrations in their art galleries.
There are more photos of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

Contains a series of really powerful images and concepts. The quality of the art is fantastic and very well presented. The book itself in the slim black case looks and feels expensive and well-made.
As to whether its good value for money, the book does contain a lot of images, and personally I would say the quality of both the art and the printing is worth the price.

Probably over priced
I know art is subjective, but for me, this feels a little over-priced. The art work is very good, but not the best I've seen and again certainly not at that price. Read more
