Darkstalkers Tribute Udon November 21, 2009
barcode
I love this artbook!! In the Street Fighter Tribute, some artists have lost the spirit of the game but in this, they are really inspired! The illustrations are really excellent!
100 percent awesome October 29, 2009
GameFAN HCGamer (United States)
I won't bore you with a detailed review that will, well, bore you.....
instead, I'll tell you that the quality is superb, the artwork is second to none, and that this is one book you can't do without.
I couldn't recommend anything higher, I'm pleased with this book on nearly every level. I can't believe it only cost [...] for this, I would expect to pay
about 60 or more at a store or something.... The quality and quantity is just that good.
5 stars, supremely well done book. A must have for fans and non-fans alike.
Highly recommended!
Fun, wacky and more fun October 24, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R29LWUIMKSDFDV Darkstalkers Tribute is the second tribute volume, the first being the Street Fighter Tribute (SFT) -- which is awesome. This time round, it brought in over 2000 submissions, more than SFT's 1300!
This is a paperback without a dust jacket and there are 296 pages. The paper is slightly thinner than SFT but doesn't affect the art book in anyway. The colour reproduction is still brilliant.
With so many artists contributing, the variety of style is amazing, of course. Some of the styles included are manga, caricature, 3D, chibi, game art, vector and many others. There's even a very sexy sculpted model of Morrigan.
Not just style, some of the ideas and concepts are really fun. There are illustrations of Darkstalkers when they are old but still fighting, Baby Bonnie Hood with mecha enhancements, Transformers-style and other wacky stuff. Looks like everyone spent a lot of time on their work.
Every illustration is captioned with the artists and their websites, which opens up more avenues for exploration if you like the artist's work you see.
It's another great tribute, highly recommended to character designers, fantasy art and Darkstalkers lovers.
I wonder what tribute Udon will come up with next.
(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
