thank you for the link... yes we know there is a "new" picture in that book, but I realy hope we will get something else before cause novembre 2003 is far away

I reckon it will have next game info because one of the lines in Raisins rant has the word spectrum, but it has a capital letter. Check it out.

I can't wait thats going to be on my christmas list next year! I always collect art books. I have books on Gigar and Alien, The Art of Star Wars, The art of Episode 1 and the Art of Episode 2. I am defenitly going to pick this one up to add to my collection.

[Xavier]

wow, nearly forgot about that
thanx atusiya@ for the reminder...
but I don't have enough money right now to buy it

[Nath]

I so want to buy that book. It's £14.32 in the uk (well at least on amazon.co.uk.).

If I can't find it in anybook shops I'll have to buy it off the net. And when I do buy it, i'll tell you all about it. Unless anyone else on the forums buys it before me.

[Oddsville]

I might by this book, it'd help with my art class and then there's that OW4 image in there..*mononical whispers*..yess. Anyways, if I ever do get it I'll be sure to post the pic here for you all.

[Cloverfield]

I only know one place in Australia to buy the Spectrum Art books ... but they are so expensive. Something like $80.00. As much as I'd love to get them, I can't really justify spending that much money on one or two Oddworld images only.

*would love to see that OW4 image so much also*

That's just what I have been wishing for.!!

[Nath]

I've just ordered the hardback edition of this book, so I will hopefully get it tomorrow or monday. It came to £21.00, including postage and packing.

[Xavier]

good to hear some members can afford it...
I'm waiting for the picture with much impatiance

[oddguy]

I have little moolah at the moment.

-oddguy

[oddguy]

I don't think I would buy the book if it only had a couple OW pics. I'm still waiting for OWI to release their own art book! Now that would be something! Anyway, I'm sure Nath will scan the OW pic out of the book and show it to us......right?

Oh, and PA.............I keep telling you to get the art of Lord of the Rings. It is muchly filled with tasty pictures!

[Sekto Springs]

whats with the dubble posting, i thought you knew better Oddguy!?

anyway, i think i might spin down to Barnes & Nobles tomorrow and pick up a copy, i hope they have it in.

[oddguy]

The double posting was actually accidental. I hit the "post" button, but then quickly realized I wanted to add something else, so I hit the stop button and added more words and posted. Apparently my earlier version was posted along with my newer post. Sorry guys.

You go to Barnes and Noble SS? You're sooooo cool! I love Barnes and Noble. I go there all the time. B&N is a lot better than Borders.

ah yes, ive done that before to.... i learned to wait before you rush and edit

anyway, i only go to B&N because it's the nearet bookstore, i do love it though they've got sooooo much

[oddguy]

Borders is nearest to me, but B&N is still my favorite. In B&N I can find everything, when in Borders I get kinda lost. Plus, I like the layout of B&N best. It's so comfy like.

-oddguy

[Sekto Springs]

yes, i like the cafe

oh, im getting off topic

anyway, its a new day, im off to B&N! i hope they have it!

[Nath]

Unfortunately the book didn't come today, so I guess i'm gonna have to wait til Monday for it.

[Oddsville]

Ok I finally got the book, but saddly Im at my dad's house right now and he dosen't own a scanner. However I am going to my mom's tomorrow night and will be able to scan a pic for you then (unless someone else gets to it first.).

Here's a Description of the pic:

The area seems to be set in the top of a giant rainforest (exactly like the one we saw in the video with the poacher chaising the Steef.). Now on the branch closest to the viewer the Steef hangs on the underside of the branch while below (on a branch furthur down.) are two characters; the hunter/poacher that we saw in that one video and a new one that looks like a mix between a crocidile, frog, and a lizard. This new character is shorter with a hunch for a back. Both of the characters are back to back and appear to be looking for the Steef with cautious expressions.

Both these characters have slightly simaller guns while the Steefs Arm-Cross bow look's slightly more "advanced". Its a beautiful picture with a sneeky/stealthy sorta feel. Lots of green shading and lots of giant branches everywhere.

There ya go, hope you all can visualise it easy enough. Hopefully I'll have the picture up soon enough.

[Mac the Janitor]

Arg, I can't wait to see this...sounds great. Thanks a bunch for the description, Oddsville.

[oddguy]

Thanks a ton for the description Oddsville! So, is this the only new OW pic, and are the other non OW pics impresive enough to buy the entire book? I'd like to know, cus I might get it.
