Book Review: Fantasy+ 5: World's Most Imaginative Artworks

The fifth volume in the Fantasy+ artbooks came out in January 2014.

As with the earlier volumes, this features a wonderful collection of fantasy concept art from artists around the world.

40 artists are included with a significant number of Chinese artists, but you can't really tell where they are from just by looking at their style. Subject matter is a mixed between characters and scenes mostly, and some environment art.

Selected artists have a one-page interview while others have just a brief profile. Commentary for artworks are few and far.

The artworks are beautiful and well reproduced in this large 192-page paperback. The low gloss thick paper is nice.

Great artbook.
