1) Art of Adam Hughes: The strength and "buoyancy" of of Adam Hughes is unrivaled. Not only does this book provide a amazing gallery of his work, it also goes in depth into his ideas and thought process behind most of the covers. You get a sense of the humorous personality of hughes' in his writing while marveling as his unparalleled skills at representing super hero women.
2) Art of Darksiders: While this book has one major flaw, the binding SUCKS and pages fall out. The content in the book is GODLY. The book is jam packed with sketches! Literally 4-8 images are found on almost every page. The creativity of both Joe Mad and Paul Richards is near unfathomable. If you can make it 20 pages in without your face exploding with inspiration then you might have been lobotomized.
3) Art of God of War 3: Really, what more can you say that the title doesn't already state? ITS THE ART BOOK FOR ONE THE MOST POLISHED AND INCREDIBLE GAME EVER. The pages of full of unseen characters and concepts, done by some of the best artists in the game industry. It has it all; concepts, storyboards, marketing illustrations, and 3d models!
These are my favorite 3 of the year.
My amazon que for next year already consists of;
Terryl Whitlatches new book "Animals Real and Imagined: Fantasy of What Is and What Might Be"
Piazo's "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: The Pathfinder Bestiary "
Piazo's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 2
Scott Robertson's "DRIVE: vehicle sketches and renderings by Scott Robertson"
Andrew Loomi's "figure drawing"
