First of all, thanks for this contest, it's really a great opportunity to expand an artist's mind.
It was very tough to decide which are the 3 best, but here ya go:
1 - Exodyssey: Visual Development of an Epic Adventure
Six artists, one book. To create an entire setting, story and concept in the form of a book with an excellent quality is something really remarkable. We need to see more works/books like this in the future.
2 - Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist
Bringing realism to imagination. Receives the second place because it's a book that teaches well something necessary: the importance of research in illustration.
3 - CFSL.NET: Café Salé Artbook 03
Without the Café Salé books (and Parka Blogs) I'd never know french illustrators. It's good to meet their art, and this book shows independent and begginers, which is something excellent and unfortunately still rare nowadays.
For the prize, Spectrum 16: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art.
