Summary: Vastly superior to Spectrum
Comment: Fantasy Art Masters presents many classic and renowned art masters such as Lee, Brom, Berry, Burns, Stone and many others, grouped into three subdivisions: those who work solely in "physical paint" - hairy sticks and pigments, as Don Meitz puts it; those who augment their work through digital means - Jim Burns and Rick Berry are good examples; and, finally, those who work solely in the digital - like Steve Stone and Dave McKean. The book displays some of their best art - from Howe's "Gandalf on Errand" through Burns's "Kaeti on Tour". The transition to paper has been made extraordinarily well, with no discolouration or smudging of any sort, and most of the pieces are followed by descriptions of what led to their creation. Also, the artists share their own insights into the technique of art and the future of fantasy art in general.

This is a marvelous compilation of the highest-quality art in the field. I consider this work a must-have for anyone interested in the field of science fiction and the visual imagery in such.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I was pretty excited when I saw this book, but it was quite a let down when I received it. Over half of the book deals with science-fiction instead of fantasy and it also includes lots of computer made art. The best artists of the fantasy art world were left out. There are some interesting pieces in this book, but it was not really what I was hoping for.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Primer of Fantasy Artwork
