Digital Art Masters: Volume 9 Paperback – July 1, 2014

I just ordered one after flipping thru most of the pages at an expensive bookstore. I do 3D art with 3DS Max and ZBrush, while using Photoshop for all 2D needs. With that said, I'm really looking forward to taking time with this book. I like it's variety, style and high quality content. I'm always on the hunt for more tips and inspiration. These aren't complete project breakdowns or tutorials, but a large collection of project highlights. It seems there's some good info in there.I've bought many other 3D Total publications (several from that expensive bookstore in San Francisco), and the quality and content has been great!I just wanted to help others who are thinking about picking this up. I'll likely get some of the other volumes too.

I really like the book but I wish there was more 2D art, but I'm not going to under review it just because I was hoping for more still an awesome resource.

The media could not be loaded. Every year when a new volume for Digital Art Maters comes out, I would use the thesarus to find a word that's synonymous with awesome. Soon, I'll have to repeat the adjectives.The 9th volume features another 50 artists and their amazing digital artworks complete with descriptions and screenshots. Altogether, there are over 600 beautiful images included in the five sections, namely Sci-Fi, Scenes, Fantasy, Characters and Cartoons.If you've been collecting the previous volumes, you already know what to expect. If you're new, you might be inspired to get the earlier volumes after looking through this. The quality of the work featured is phenomenal, from the concept to the execution. You should definitely check out the websites of all the artists in th ebook.There are 288 pages. For the first time, I found out that there's actually a hardcover available as well but it's only sold at 3DTotal's online shop. The paperback edition is available where artbooks are sold.Great book. Highly recommended as usual.(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

The art work is great. A good collection from the modern masters.

All for my reference library..
