Fantastic peace of and beatifull album for true fans of Sea of Stars
Very please with my purchase.
This book is absolutely beautiful. It was a gift for my husband and he loved it. My kids love it too.
It’s extremely high quality, well printed and just fantastic in every way. I love the gold detailing on the cover.
The only issue we had was with shipping. The first book sent got lost in the mail and it took about two months to figure that out. Once it was established that it was well and truly lost, 3dTotal quick-shipped a second copy that arrived in just a couple days.
Thank you!
10/10 art book. The designs and colours standout.
As someone who owns a ridiculous amount of Art Books I wish more publishers had the opportunity to follow this format. Seeing the creative process, iterations and final work for pretty much every element of the game is a rare treat. It requires working intimately with the artist and the studio something not all publishers are able to do. The thread left by Bryce and Thierry creates a vivid image of the development process throughout. It also helps that the book itself looks and feels stunning. A one of a kind reading experience. Cannot recommend enough.
