Reviews of books – generally art ‘how to’ books.

OGT2 ContributorYes, the book has been available for a while now. What can I say? I’m playing catch up.

Truth is, I couldn’t be more proud of this book if I had written it myself. Like its predecessor, the OGT v2 is a collection of the best articles to come out of role playing blogs over the past year.

Through an extremely impressive efforton behalf of Dr. Jonathan Jacobs, a collection of tremendously dedicated reviewers, writers, editors, and my fellow artists, we have managed to refine, tweak, add to, and re-tweak a collection of entries that could keep any group of gamers in new ideas for quite a while.

Inspiration? No problem. Rules / crunch? No sweat. Philosophy? You betcha.

Go. Check it out. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Overall Review (in brief)

Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist is good, solid book for artists even if it is a bit… simplified. That is the point, after all, and Christopher Hart Seems to accomplish it well. This is a simple ‘breakdown’ of anatomy. Rather than get too terribly specific about the details of each sinew of a muscle, he teaches the basic shape. In a world of deadlines and concept art sketch work, this seems a nearly mandatory book to have in your collection – even if you’ll only use it ‘once in a while’.
