One of the hallmarks of fantasy art is incredible combat scenes. Epic battles beneath thundery skies, hand-to-hand combat between good and evil, the lone warrior facing a monstrous foe…this is what fantasy is all about! For artists, the amount of detail and movement needed to make these scenes convincing can be a challenge. In How to Draw and Paint Fantasy Combat, award-winning fantasy artist Matt Stawicki demystifies the techniques needed to create truly realistic scenes. Unique to this manual is Stawicki's invaluable 'directories' of classic combat art elements, from attacking and defensive poses to weapons and clothing. More than 250 full-color illustrations provide instruction and inspiration. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

This handsomely produced volume tells the story of Steampunk, which began in the 1980s as a pop culture movement inspired by pioneering science fiction tales that came out of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Steampunk, with its nostalgia for devices and inventions of the nineteenth century, soon evolved into an international lifestyle movement. The Steampunk Gazette chronicles the origins and development of that subculture, using an old-fashioned illustrated newspaper-style design that reflects Steampunk's retro aesthetic.
