I love reimaginations of fairy-tales. This book is a good insight into how different artists use existing background information about these characters to develop the characters and their environments and the details they add.

Wonderful Book!

I purchased this book some months ago and I must say it’s a great one of a kind book full of different approaches to the subject. It’s fun to see different characters, processes and overall I think it’s very inspiring!

I love it!

Great book. Not only beautifully published, like other books of this publication, but above all a sensational guide to concept art. I am sure that I will come back to it. I learned a lot.
