this book is awesome!, 23 Oct 2002

This review is from: Masters of Dragonlance Art (Dragonlance: Sourcebooks on Krynn) (Paperback)
This book contains several absolutely gorgeous pictures... not that any of them are anything less than stunning. Any fan of Dragonlance, or even just fantasy art would love to leaf through this book-lots of fond memories. It also contains bios on the artists, and some feedback on the art; nothing overly extensive, just a few notes from the creator to augment the ideal of the pictures.
However, the real point of this book is that the art is outstanding. It won't improve your knowledge of the fantasy series... but it will give you a lovely collection of its art, and some minor history of its development. It will also give you the proper book titles so you can find those few books that you managed to miss in your searches for more excellent side stories.
Even the "Spectre of the Black Rose" cover picture is included (twice actually) that creepy picture of Soth being my personal favorite. Even Art director Ryan Sansaver said it "Kicks [butt] !"
So I highly recommend it. Buy it! Share it with your friends!

Fascinating book, 17 Aug 2005

Compared to other artbooks, this one seems to be printed on lesser (less quality) paper. The pages are black, which is not very usual, thus rather fascinating or unusual.
As for the artworks, I believe that too much space is wasted on the newer artists works, although the elder ones already have books that showcase their art. Some decline in art nicety is even apperent in my opinion...
Rather nice buy though, and I recommend it to anyone who has the money to purchase such a piece of beautiful book.

If you are a big fan of the Dragonlance volumes, you will definitely like this book. The artwork is spectacular. The only negative would be that many of the portraits are from the secondary stories, so you really have to be familiar with all of the novels to appreciate the entire book.
