A friend ordered the hardcover for me (she knew I only got the limited edition and gave me the hard cover version so I should have to wait, isn't she wonderfull
)
This book is a piece of art in itself! You can feel the magic, the dedication and the love while reading it!
I took 4h30 to go trough the book the first time I read it, and even now I often open it and focus on a specific image or theme.
This is absolutly a must have for every oddworld fan, it contains excellent info about how the characters were created, how the plots were fixed, and how the subtext emmerged. You can understand while reading this book how important the feeling of one culture is.
You can read a part about the importance of the oddworld music!!!
And now the Art! Tons and tons of pictures even I never saw:
Lots of sketches that make you see how the creatures were created and where they came from, each single sketch is a piece of art, a story in itself!
A huge amount of paintings: wonderfull and pure art, makes me want to have each item in poster side to put in my room! All those images gives you the mood and the sensation to understand even more of the Oddworld cultures, parts you'ld never have suspected!
Several Screenshots and CG captures: to show the final result
There also many many informations about creatures (seen and unseen)
If you want art, If you like CG, or If you like both (Oddworld): Buy it!
