ART HT TRAIN YR DRAGON 2

Awesome

Me llegó a tiempo y en buenas condiciones aunque el libro no trae ningún protector o plástico que lo conserve mientras lo traen en el transporte, por ello, se arrugó un poco la covertura de papel con el diseño de Hipo levantabdo su espada, ese lo trae trae para proteger la portada real, ppr así decirlo. El libro es una maravilla, explica cada personaje y su evolución de la película uno a la dos y viene también información sobre los paisajes, el crew de animación, el director, etc. Visualmente es una maravilla, incluso para las personas que sólo sienten curiosidad de verlo, y para alguien que se dedica al arte o la animación es una herramienta perfecta y fuente de inspiración. Lo recomiendo muchísimo!

Molto, molto bello. Ho sia questo, sia il primo della serie e nonostante in HTTD dessero un discreto spazio a tutti i personaggi e agli ambienti più importanti sono riusciti a superarsi. Per ognuno ci sono un sacco di schizzi e disegni finiti, con tanto di paragoni con il risultato finale, idem per gli ambienti. Nico Marlet non manca, ma ho avuto modo di scoprire anche un Iuri Lioi e un Peter Chan - loro sono quelli che mi sono rimasti più impressi, ma è pieno di lavori di artisti magnifici. Per chi, come me, non ha ancora avuto modo di vedere il film, avviso che sono presenti dei leggeri spoiler, ma niente che possa rovinarvelo. In generale, non delude le aspettative, anzi, e lo consiglio con tutto il cuore.

Livro com ótima qualidade. Visualmente lindo, imagens cheias de detalhes e histórias por trás da obra. O acabamneto do livro també é impressionante. Vale muito a pena para quem quer colecionar artbooks ou só gosta da animação e deseja aprecisar um pouco mais os detalhes de pré produção. Altamente recomendado para artista digitais que desejam almentar sua biblioteca visual para outros projetos.

たくさんあるので 買って損はない

This book is as good as the artbook for the first film, The Art of How to Train Your Dragon . In other words, it's a beautiful artbook. The concept art is split between designs for the characters, dragons, environment and props. Hiccup and company from Berk are five years older now, and they are redesigned slightly to reflect their age. Nicolas Marlet is still the main character designer and a lot of his drawings are included. He still uses traditional media to draw in similar style the expressive and almost cartoon-like characters. Artist Zhaoping Wei provides the more finished look to the characters. Both the viking and dragon designs are a joy to look at, and of course there new characters and dragons. There's Stoick's Skullcrusher, blacksmith Gobber's Grump, Valka's Cloudjumper, the two gigantic Bewilderbeast and of course other miscellaneous dragons. Designs for the props and sets are also wonderful. I love the whimsical look and feel. There are many interesting creations, to name a few, such as the dragon wind vane, dragon feeding stations, houses and buildings, traps and war machines. Environment paintings are really beautiful and scenic. There aren't many of those but when they appear, they are breathtaking. Alright, some downsides. There's a good amount of text talking about the story and art, but the lengthy passages are not easy to read because of the small font size. My other complaint is the paper feels thinner and softer than the first book. If they make the paper any thinner, it would be magazine paper. Note that there are two publishers for this book, Newmarket Press and Titan Books. My edition is Newmarket Press. I read another reviewer comment about the paper stock from Titan Books being thin as well. So these are my two quibbles. Overall, it feels like they've packed more artworks than the earlier book. Despite the minor downsides, I would still highly recommend this book, as well as the first artbook. 4.5 out of 5 stars. (See more pictures of the book on my blog.
