The Art of Assassin's Creed III

Now, don't get me wrong, I am a huge Assassin's Creed fan. But I'm all out sincere when I say this book was stunning. The cover itself was a beautiful scene, and I loved all the details in the making of Connor! And the art of Haytham and so on was brilliant. Any AC fan would be proud to own this.

I loved this game, and to see the artwork and detail placed into it, shows how much love was put into the game.

My only concern is that it feels like it was only a brief summary of some aspects of the game (art wise) and I think they could have added a lot more in some areas - particularly character development art and Iroquois concept studies (There was actually only a couple pages depicting them). But the artwork is absolutely gorgeous, so I can't complain very much.

Really love this book, great art and great quality

This book is a great coffee-table book, and it also gives a glimpse into the world of the game, Assassin's Creed III. The artists have truly captured the world and its surroundings in breathtaking details. I sure wish I could have met Connor!!! A must buy for any fans of the Assassin's Creed games!!!

Item arrived in excellent condition. Virtually brand new looking. The content is helpful for the aspiring artist, appreciative reader, and for those who enjoy the story magic making process for video games.

I was ever so please when I heard the thumped of the book come though the mail slot. Within the cover I was pleased to see page after page of digital renditions of areas with in the game, images of the characters very much completed and sections of weapon designs. Thankfully they didn't use any images from the game to take up space. I think what would have made this a little more fleshed would be the including of rougher images from the concept stage. You know, to get a look into the process within the designer's minds. Overall I rate this a lovely reference into a good game and I eagerly await the release of AC4's art book. ....And maybe one that includes bunches of work from the Ezio trilogy.

It looks as advertised. Nice cover, great quality images, timely delivery. Gift was for a sequential arts major looking to get into video games. Seemed very pleased with the book.

TheAC3 art book is full of some of the most stunning images I have ever seen in a game art book; each picture is of such incredible quality that it could stand on its own as a piece of art work in a gallery. Having spent the last couple of months devouring this book and its amazing illustrations, I can honestly say I am stunned - so much detail has gone into the backgrounds, the foregrounds, the characters (their faces, clothing, weapons, etc) that it is unfortunate to note how quickly it is passed when you are playing the game; and how little of it I, as a player of the games, noticed during game play. Take, for example, the ships and docks: the reflections in the water, the rigging, the masts and sails are all so incredibly illustrated, but so is the sky: storm fronts, sunsets, battle smoked skies are almost hypnotic in their detail and depth, as are the winter scenes. The winter scenes show the seas starting to freeze; the snow covered buildings and trees, even beams and ropes are holding their own snow fall; there are even icicles are hanging down towards the ground ... no detail has been missed. Wooden beams are detailed with not only the grain but with knots too. One of the most thought provoking images, for me, was where the character is stood on top of a giant wind turbine looking out over a massive wind farm which spreads across the land as far as the eye can see - an area of land that was obviously once a scene of natural beauty and is now anything but. To be honest I hadn't an opinion either way on the subject of wind farms as the ones near to us are all off the coast, but having looked at this picture of the decimation and the ugliness of these machines I would definitely suggest all those politicians that say wind farms are wonderful (as long as they are nowhere near them) should take a long look at this picture - they may change their minds. Even if you're not interested in the games the book can be fascinating. My mother who has no interest in the games or in gaming has spent hours looking through the images in the book. I am blown away by the art contained in this book, and I would recommend it as well worth considering for any AC fan.

Bellissimo, un buon regalo ai fan della serie

This book is beautiful. If you enjoy the kind of style linked to the franchise you'll love this book. Each page is filled with design sketches concept art that tie into the last game, and all of it looks gorgeous. Definitely worth a look!

Ouvrage de qualité, illustrations magnifiques comme toujours avec la série

素晴らしいアートの数々が載っています。 ほとんどがマットペイント風ではないタッチが残る画風のアートなので、ブラシワークの参考にもってこいです。
