The Art of Atomhawk Volume 2, the latest collection of concept art from digital art and design studio Atomhawk, is now available to buy on Amazon.
The book features a diverse range of concept and marketing art from high profile projects such as Mortal Kombat, Project Spark, Injustice: Gods Among Us and J.K Rowling’s Pottermore. The images appear alongside insights into the thinking and influences behind the art work and digital painting tips from the Atomhawk artists.
An in-depth tutorial section includes five step-by-step tutorials sharing the techniques, workflow and inspiration that the artists use when creating concept art for clients such as Marvel, Warner Brothers, Lego and Sony. Eight of the studio’s artists have also included a selection of their personal art along with advice on how they develop their skills through their own work.
Cumron Ashtiani, Atomhawk founder and editor of the book, says:
“Every single member of the team has played a role in the making of this book and we’re all looking forward to sharing so many of the highlights of our last five years with artists and art lovers as well as gamers who will recognise many of the characters and scenes from their favourite titles.”
Its five years since The Art of Atomhawk Volume 1 was published by 3D Total and this time the second volume has been entirely compiled, designed and written by the Atomhawk team themselves. The cost of its production was funded by a Kickstarter campaign which ran in June 2015 and raised £17,675 from 393 backers.
The book is available to buy on Amazon’s European marketplaces. Anyone interested in buying the book from outside of Europe should contact Atomhawk at info@atomhawk.com
