That's what I want to know, the Diablo 3 art book is great for character concept art, okay for everything else, if it is more of the same I would pass on buying, but would love to flip through.

Arkadius

I have enjoyed all the books, but I mean is there different content? I own all the books including the old and fragile Warcraft3 Art book. If there is no new content I can't see my self purchasing something I already own.

Oh dang!

Description in link:

An epic volume of art and behind-the-scenes insights, The Art of Blizzard® celebrates the studio’s genesis by examining the creative forces behind these games and showcasing their artistry through more than 700 pieces of concept art, paintings, and sketches. Commentary on the art is provided by Blizzard Entertainment’s own Nick Carpenter, Sam Didier, and Chris Metzen, who’ve each played important roles in shaping Blizzard’s game universes over the years.

paulsvoboda

Yes! Preodered!

wasker

Awesome Definately getting this.

slipsius

Pre-ordered this a while ago. The original ship date was Oct 18th. Ive gotten a couple of emails from amazon saying its been pushed back. the first email said it was pushed back till november. Now I just got one saying not till January.... wtf... It's a book. Not a huge ass game.

Hopefully this means they are adding D3 and heart of the swarm art to it..

whats_true

Or they are splitting it up into 3 book, each that will come out years apart form eachother.

JacqueChoi

i see what u did there.

Bigjohn

I hear they have a secret page for concept art for a celestial steed. If you want it, it's $25, which you have to pay online, and then wait in a virtual queue for 3 days before they e-mail you the page in a PDF file.

or at least that's what they're hyping it up to be.

aajohnny

I know where my next paycheck is going.

toxic_h2o

omg... yes.

Alphavader

yessss

Compo

I have the art book from the last 2 wow expansions + MoP & D3 but I still think im going to order this also. *crosses fingers for lots of things from WC3 and earlier* :poly142:

praetus

This is actually something I am curious about. I have all the art books for WoW+all expansions, SC2, D3, as well as art of the WoW card game and Lich King Cinematic books...so....what type of overlap am I looking at here for art? I am really interested in this book but I want to know that the artwork inside is stuff I don't already have.

slipsius

I feel it wont have much, if any overlap, praetus. Yes, those books are pretty big to begin with. But they are also only a small small selection of all the art they do for each game.

Mark Dygert

At first I thought WTF now are they saying you already got it, then I realized that you guys write your dates funny.

Nov 1st 2012 (SOON!), not Jan 11th 2012 (that already happened, BOO!).

Kave

Just got mine in the post, It's fucking huge and just as good as i expected, GJ BLIZZ

LRoy

this is in stock now? what do you guys think of it?

tottot

I had it on pre order, but cancelled after seeing a flip through and reading that there would be no art from the cinematics. I feel like I have all those images burned into my fanboy brain already :P

Kave

Not seen any info on it or on parkablogs or anything, forgot i even had it ordered until i got an email thursday saying it'd been shipped
