So much love and personality was put into our crystalized friends, that seeing a whole section devoted to them just makes sense. The next section is 50 pages of nothing but Dragons, which could have been its own book. The first two detail Spyro’s evolution as well as art of the main characters/ villains you’ll face in the game. The art is divided up into 5 major sections. So it makes sense that this book would be so massive. There’s even a section that explores the philosophy/ mindset the team had when approaching this remake.Īs for the art side, this book covers all three games. Fast forward a year or so, and I can genuinely say this book was worth the wait.Īt a staggering 288 pages and 11.5 by 10 inches, this is one hefty art book! There are massive double page spreads with commentary from Josh Nadelberg, one of the Art Directors, as well as commentary from the incredible artists themselves (including but not limited to: Nicholas Kole, Devon Cady-Lee, Nicola Saviori and many more!) sprinkled throughout the book.

(And as an aspiring illustrator, I’ve seen and owned a LOT of art books). Thanks to Activision/ Blizzard, I was able to get an advance copy of the upcoming Art of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy art book and it is without a doubt the most stunning art book I have ever seen. But if you find an art book that is both loaded with art and commentary from the artists and developers themselves, congratulations! You just found a real life ‘Gem’! Others can be infuriatingly tiny – in both physical size and number of pages. Some end up sharing more screenshots than actual art. It’s a chance to get a closer look not only at the characters and settings but also can offer a glimpse into the team’s creative process. Though not all Art Books are created equal. You might think ‘well I’m not an artist, what do I gain from it’? But art books are a great way to dive deeper into your favorite video game or film.
