The Art of The Dam Keeper is a wonderful companion artbook for the animated short film directed by Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo.
This 168-page hardcover artbook collects the concept art and included character designs and beautiful scene paintings from the animation. There are numerous interviews included to give you insight into the making and production. It's an insightful read that goes behind the scenes to talk about the motivation and inspiration behind this humongous project. You can definitely feel that this is a labour of love from the two ex-Pixar directors. The two also talk about story elements of the animation.
I love the style of the art because it's so different from other animation. The design and art direction are fantastic, charming.
It's a book worth getting if you're fan of the animated short or Dice Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo.
