Anne Stokes is a phenomenally popular artist in the field of gothic and magical fantasy, with fans all over the world. Her roots in design and illustration have led to supremely well-crafted paintings that have been licensed for use on all manner of merchandise and her followers eagerly await each new piece. This long-overdue book showcases Anne's oeuvre in all its glory, accompanied by illuminating text about Anne and her inspirations, techniques and processes. The book is divided into thematic sections covering the full range of subjects that she has portrayed: her early work (like that for Dungeons & Dragons), the dark and the gothic, dragons, unicorns, fairies, mermaids and all that is mystical and magical. From the dark allure of Summon the Reaperto the opalescent beauty of Stargazer, this is a real treat for all fans and anyone who loves fantasy and stunning art in general.… (plus d'informations)
This is a case of a cover selling the book. When I saw the gorgeous cover with a mage and dragon, I knew I had to have the book to add to my collection of fantasy artwork. It turns out I have seen artwork by Anne Stokes; she has done some art for figurines and shirts. But The Art of Anne Stokes is an excellent introduction to her art.
I think her best art features dragons, although she seems to paint a lot of fairies. Her unicorns are also quite nice. The book includes some of the backstories for her art. Her partner John Woodward also contributed the opening text for the nine sections. The fascinating chapter to read was "Designing for Different Formats." That one explains the collaboration between Anne Stokes and the figuring designer.
I am glad that I have this book. I would suggest it for fans of fantasy art. ( )
