The third volume of White Cloud Worlds is yet another amazing showcase of artworks and talent from New Zealand. The book was put on Kickstarter asking for NZD $10,000 in funds and ended with over $40,000. That's great response.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of contributors. There are more than 60 artists featured, some are veterans with decades of experience. Many have worked on films, comics and video games.

This book collects paintings, mostly digital, and sculpture art. There are concept designs for characters, environments, robots, vehicles and scenes. The genre is fantasy and sci-fi. Variety is fantastic. It's a good showcase of different work and styles. Some are painted almost like fine art, others are more conceptual, a bit more rough, and there are also animation and comic styles. The quality is definitely top notch. Most art pieces are printed huge.

Each artist also wrote something for their profile and they are quite interesting to read, especially the longer pieces.

Paul Tobin has done a wonderful job editing the book. I can only imagine how difficult it is to contact all these top artists, get them to contribute, compile their art and lay them out in a beautiful book like this.

Highly recommended.
