Product Description
Product Description
Clint Langley is a well-known figure in the world of science fiction and fantasy art. His work for the Black Library, creating jaw-dropping images for the Games Workshop worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, has become a fine body of work. Architect of numerous novel covers and over a hundred collectible card game images, Clint's work has wowed Games Workshop fans for years, his hyper real style and gritty sensibilities perfectly in tune with the grim vistas he portrays. Together with commentary by authors such as Dan Abnett and Graham McNeill, this fantastic collection dedicated to the dark worlds of Warhammer is exhibited in full colour and for the first time.

Of the many Warhammer art books, this one focuses on the art of Clint Langley. He's Black Library's most prolific artists, responsible for creating the gritty art for the novel covers as well as the collectible card game. The Art of Clint Langley is a 96-page paperback.
The full colour illustrations within tell a story of a battle-torn universe. Each piece is created with painstaking detail, every last button, fringe of braid, battle scarred armour and textured coat. The scenes are intense, depicting never-ending battles. The weapon and armour designs are always elaborate. It certainly looks like every warrior is wearing armour made up of hundreds of parts. Everything's pretty extravagant, nitty gritty extravagant.
Some of the pieces have commentary provided by the authors. Clint Langley also wrote a bit of stuff, such as how he prepares as I've quoted below.
"When I receive a brief, as soon as I read it, I can imagine the image in my head. To a certain extent I'll hear the soundtrack and see the image moving. I'll often stand around and move into poses to put myself in that moment. For instance, as soon as you mention Chaos Space Marine, I'm beginning to see the sky boil and a Khorne Berserker charging over the hill." - Clint Langley
This is a great book for sci-fi, fantasy artists, as well as Warhammer fans.

Fantastic art from the world of Warhammer
1 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book contains beautiful color reproductions of some of the best, most amazing art by Clint Langley. Combining illustrations from both the Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 game universes, these starkly "realistic" paintings have appeared on book covers and on combat card game (CCG) cards. Including commentary on select pieces of art by some of the authors with whom whose work the paintings are associated, this book will immerse you in the fantastically dark and dangerous worlds of Warhammer while providing some insight into Mr. Langley's creative process. At the current discount here on Amazon of approximately 33% off the list price, this book is a must for all afficianados of great Warhammer related art. There really are some amazing pieces in here, including Harlequin, Chaos Child, the original cover of Storm of Iron, and much, much more. I recommend it!
