Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Video Game art books

Not sure if I'm the only one but I've always love seeing what goes into making video games. From designing the characters, weapons, environments etc. So I love collecting Video Game art books. Here's a few picture of my collection. I just received "Uncharted Trilogy" and "Blackwater Archives the art of the Order 1886"

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Nice collection, man! Extremely envious of that limited edition Hyrule Historia.

I don't have any pictures of mine to upload, but I too love seeing the work that goes into developing games. My current favorite has to be The Dunwall Archives for Dishonored. Not traditional, but a fascinating collection of concepts and in-game/in-universe text, lore and art.

Mind if I ask where you picked up The Order: 1886 book?

Thanks guys. Would love to see and find out about other books.


Youngwolf :
The "Blackwater Archives art of the Order 1886" just came out last month. It supposedly sold out first day but they said more would be available. I ordered mine just over a week ago off Amazon when they offered it again.

cool Thanks for sharing. Some of the ones I have are from collectors editions of strategy guides. There are some dedicated Halo books that I still have to track down.

Thanks for the tip! Managed to snag it on Amazon shortly after finding out. Also happened to coincide with the release of the OST. Definitely one of the coolest art books I've had the pleasure of flipping through.

Here's my collection, with some animation books thrown in there.

Picked up the limited edition art book for Uncharted 4. The limited version matches the previously released The Art of Uncharted Trilogy and comes with a special slipcase that houses both books along with a mini lithograph.
