Fantastic buy! The artwork is very high quality, mostly fantasy themed with some sci-fi. Each picture is a full page spread in full colour, with smaller greyscale images of same reduced to 4 on a page at the end. As a publisher I found this art pack to be of excellent value and am very pleased with the purchase. Mr Calkins was easily contactable and a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to see what else he can put up on the site :)

A wonderful collection to be sure. The fact that so much of his work has been put together into a single package shows a varying progression in both style and proficiency and in all cases, they are, well they're just great.

Any self publisher who buys this product with the intention of using it in his or her publications should go to jail. Why? Because to get this much art of this level of quality for this low of a price can only be described as a steal! 100 pieces of color artwork pus greyscale images for less that 30 bucks-there is no other way to describe it. Some of the art looks a bit rough or unfinished but there are still enough pieces of exceptional quality that the price tag is well worth it. Now if you'll excuse me I need to run because I think I hear the cops coming.

This is, quite simply, an awesome product for publishers. With many full colour art works useable as covers or for colour interiors, as well as smaller quarter page black and white art, all drawn in a very nice style.

This is a huge collection of fantasy and sci-fi art with a diverse range of subjects, from individuals to groups. Most of the paintings appear to be dark fantasy or post-apocalypse in subject, though there are several that could fall into more generic "high fantasy" or sci-fi genres. Every piece tells a bit of a story, rather than just being a straight portrait. All of the art in this collection would be very useable as interior art for your projects and most of the pieces would also make great cover art. This collection is of a consistentlly good quality, though there are a couple of pieces that I felt needed more detail, whether in the background (there are some with just swirling colour) or in the characters themselves. But this is a personal taste - afterall, we are talking art here! In all, this is a great collection of art, useable in a broad range of projects, for a really reasonable price.

Art is highly subjective. If you look at the cover and like what you see, chances are you're probably going to enjoy many of the interior pieces.

The book does not only focus on fantasy though. There are several illustrations that would be at home in a dark future setting that showcase guns, robots, and vehicles. Not all such illustrations are so grand however and there are several that are of more modern individuals without the fuss of guns and gals. Some of the illustrations, such as the female 'Wolverine' on page 61 might be used for future cybernetic armnament or for more modern settings like Mutants and Masterminds.

The artist style showcases a wide vareity here. I will utter the ultimate in gaming blaspheme and note that several illustrations look like they would be right at home in the 'old school' movement. On page 12, there is a lone hero facing a tentacled monster. It might be the coloring style or the choice of background colors, but that is what I would consider 'old school'.

For those products which may not need the full color effect however, the product wraps up with a series of reproductions of the covers in black and white, coming four illustrations to the page.

The product should fufill the needs of anyone looking for art not only for projects, but for personal ownership.
