Anyways, back to topic. I agree with PA, and Oddguy, they should release something along the lines of a scrapbook, or full book of oddworld concept work, or actual final artwork prints. I mean look how much was in the credits alone. If oddworld starts the motion picture thing soon, Im sure we would get an art book even sooner.

Usually what happens Al is the movie hits theaters before any art book of that movie is released. I good example is The Art of Star Wars Episode 1 and The Art of Star Wars Episode 2. They came out during and after the movie came out not before. Its not until the movie is released until the book comes out. Because usually all that work is being sorted and put in the tare sheets which is basically a portfolio of art to be put on file. Then the artist put his or her name and phone number and their paticular style in a national illustraitor address book. Which is sent out all over the country to clients. So that later if a client is intrested in that paticular style of art he or she would call him up have that artist go and do something for them. The artist will then go to his scrab book or Tare Sheet and tare out the piece and write a letter to the client on what he or she wants them to do along with his or her piece. hense the word tare sheet. Or its being used at the moment being filmed and formatted to fit in the blue screen elements. Usually what happens is what you get in the book is a copy of the original piece. Because the original piece could very well be an 18 by 24 painting or drawing. Heck sometimes an original matt painting can be the size of an entire set where you see artist standing on latters painting the back ground. But nowadays 80% of the job is done on the computer but still before the computer stage of the job there is always the free hand stuff that is done in a whole multitude of different sizes. Generally they are recorded and reduced in size when the books are being put together. But they arent the original pieces. The originals are stored in huge files.
There is a book of artists that is sold in Borders book store I forget the name of it but if you are a free lancer you can get your name in this book so that clients can see what you do. But I am not quite sure if the film companys do this maybe some but not all. ILM doesn't do that because they are a privately owned company and they recrute their artist from Berkley. I really don't think OWI's artists are listed in this book as well because OWI is privately owned I bet. You have to be a free lancer I think. Maybe Farzad is listed in this book because of the fact he left OWI for something else. That generally means he is a free lance artist. An artist on the move. They don't stay with one company they move on to different companies and different projects.
