You do know the massive black book is also published by ballistic right?
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and he mentioned that he wanted art books. But I'm not entirely sure what kind of art books are "good".

I really want to get him like the art of SC2 book or something, but I don't think that exists... Sadly.

But my question is, what kind of art books do you guys use for reference? Is there a specific artist/publisher I should look for?

Any help would be appreciated! :D
Thanks!

He's a digital painter / vector flash artist, btw. He works on games.
He used to work in oil paints, but now he doesn't have time to paint anymore.


What race does he play?

If he plays zerg, get him an H. R. Giger art book.

I came in to say Gnomon have some really good tutorial DVDs to help artists develop their skills, might be worth a look (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/) . Some good art book suggestions already though!

I actually got him the Massive Black Vol.1 for Christmas. :D I have Vol. 2 on pre-order too.

Wow, that art is gorgeous!! I'm definitely adding it to the list.

He is currently zerg, but is maybe switching to Terran for 1v1. In teams, he just plays random.
I actually got him a zerg keychain when we first started dating.

I'll take a look to see what Amazon has for H.R. Giger. Thanks for the suggestion!
