Summary: Good fantasy art
Comment: The cover - that female figure in front of a burning phoenix - gives a fair idea of what's inside. The drawing is outstanding and varied. There are science fiction scenes, fantasies with demons and dragons, sword-and-sandal, and lots more.

The real surprise for me was the huge and detailed black and white drawings. Pencil is a seriously under-rated medium. Lockwood shows just how much expression and detail the medium can support.

Still, the world of fantasy art is a large world. It is populated with people like Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Frank Frazetta, and too many others to name. Lockwood's work is creative and competent. I just don't see the spark in it that would let his work stand next to the greatest masters of the field.

Summary: Wholesome Fantasy Artwork
Comment: Transitions is simply incredible. Page after page of stunning fine-art paintings featuring some risque but quite discreet costumes. Wonderful portrayals of the human condition under inhuman conditions! Fantastic creatures in analytic detail brought to you by a master illustrator - the Art Director behind Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition.

There's decades of painting skill on display here. Well worth the cost and certain to be a sought-after collectible. Mine is remarked with a personal note - also available via the artist's website: http://www.toddlockwood.com
