I recently read a book titled "Game Art: Creation, Direction and Careers". It's written by Riccard Linde, a fellow artist with 10 years experience. This book is perfect for anyone who is at a level where they're ready to break in to the biz, or have recently just done so.
I wrote a review of the book on
my site and really want to encourage a lot of you to read the review then check out the book. It's helped me tremendously and is EXACTLY what I needed at this point in my career.
So then, go check it out!
