The Bible and the Monster and Dragons one. They're pretty good. It's literally just the prints.

I want to get Zao Dao's Song of Sylvan but it's quite pricey to get it shipped where I'm at.

I would like to buy Kiyotaka Haimura's artbook Rainbow Spectrum: Notes, but I'll have to wait until after January to order it.

I have several that involve Akihiko Yoshida.

* Tactics Ogre, very well designed book; also has work by Tsubasa Masao.

* Final Fantasy XIV; bonus points for being partially translated.

* Bravely Default

I would like Granblue Fantasy even though I have not actually played it. Hideo Minaba has grown on me.

>> No.3247639

I have all Yoshinari's artbooks and think they're worth the money. Hori is next.

They are all mire or less dedicated to the industrial design of the namegiving home computers and about the pixel art of the games made for these platforms.

"The Art of Yoshitaka Amano" is great if you're into his style.

>> No.3248389

>>3247635
What is your picture from? I've seen several pieces with that sort of style and I can't ever really pinpoint what is it that makes that an actual style or distinguishable from other stuff. I'm thinking something with the colors, reminds me of Tree of Savior Art.

Final Fantasy XIV
I looked up some of the few interviews he did:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mMN-8rSx_s

He likes Rembrandt which might explain why he likes using earth tones.
