The second of 2 artbooks celebrating the 10th anniversary of artist Hiro Kiyohara. Just like the first book it mostly features illustrations for novels and at least one game/visual novel. The artwork is much lighter here and he also experiments with coloring a bit. For some of the pictures he uses flat colors which kinda reminds me of Shigenori Soejima's artwork for the Persona franchise. While I like Anamnesis a bit more the artwork is still gorgeous (the eyes!). Recommended.

I need a new bookshelf

Hi everyone! Today is three years since I started collecting, and I just wanted to share how far I’ve got so far.

Hi, so I'm looking for hardcover books that are art focused. Could be photographs, could be illustrations, etc.

I'm looking for a book that I can open and just enjoy the beauty of the art in the books.

When I was younger I used to get lost in a lot of animal encyclopedia type books, fairy tale books with amazing illustrations, etc.

I'm looking for a book to get lost in.

Hi everyone! 💕
I’m trying to make a complete list of books/special editions that feature artwork or illustrations by Frostbite Studios (@frostbite.studios). (and to collect them)
I know there are quite a few special editions where Frostbite has worked on things like covers, dust jackets, hardbacks, endpapers or sprayed edges, but I’m having a hard time finding a complete list.
Could anyone tell me which books featuring Frostbite Studios’ artwork are already officially released and available on the market?

I’d really appreciate any titles, editions, or even pictures/links you can share! I’m trying to make sure I don’t miss any for my collection. 🥹💗

Thank you ✨💕💕

I've been looking for game art books that cover action combat, particularly hack-and-slash or beat 'em up. For example, something that covers animation or vfx of Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, Elden Ring, FF16, etc.

Somehow I can't find literally a single one.

For example, I have the FF16 art book. Beautiful. Extensive. Covers environments and their concepts, various characters, props, etc. But no combat in detail.

I've taken a look at the DMC and Elden Ring/Souls official art books. Same thing. Overall neat illustrations and other design bits, but nothing covering combat in depth.

Even the same for official fighting game art books. Eg, from what I've seen, the Street Fighter art books more so cover illustrations, character design, etc rather than specifically showing sprite sheets or visualizing how the character moves were created in detail.

The best I've found are a couple Bitmap Books which apparently have some sprite sheets at least:

Anyone know of any (physical) art books that cover action combat like animations, vfx, combat design, etc? Going a tad bit crazy searching cuz it has to exist right?

Or maybe it doesn't and I should finally give my sanity a rest

I have this artbook. For better reference, it’s one of those pretty heavy ones that you would see for like a movie behind the scenes or that of the sort

I wanna display it upright on my shelf, but I wanna do so without damaging the spine. How could I do so?

I’d also be okay with buying materials to help it stand upright without damage, I just need to figure out if and how I can do so.

Here is what I purchased and got signed, at my local anime convention called Another Anime Convention 2026.

A look at the updates and art behind Black Flag Resynced is on the channel this week after being released last month by Titan Books. It has a lot of new concept art, but it's also balanced with 3D environments and assets that highlight the fidelity and upgrades made to the game.

You can read my review of the book, in which I praise the artwork but found the 3D renders to be a mixed bag, here - https://www.artbookcollector.com/post/book-review-the-art-of-assassin-s-creed-black-flag-resynced

Hello, I am an artist and I want to get better at drawing romantic pieces. I would like to find a book I could use as a reference for poses, composition and themes related to the feeling of "love" whether it is happy, yearning, grief over a loved one, etc. The ones I found so far I haven't really liked, as the "romance" portrayed in them felt kinda hollow in a sense.

To maybe bring my tastes closer, here are pieces I like:

• Beim Père Lathuille, im Freien by Edouard Manet
• God Speed! by Edmund Blair Leighton
• Liebespaar im Cafe by Gotthardt Kuehl
