EXPOSÉ 11: The Finest Digital Art in the Known Universe Paperback – August 13, 2013

There are a lot of books like this out there that are not nearly as popular or famous in the industry but they are better as far as I'm concerned. Spectrum is one that I feel is better as far as variety. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent book, but I go to it much less often than the others like Spectrum and Digital Artists (3D Total).

Usually I shy away from digital art books, but because of the beautiful cover art I gave it a try. The many artists in this book are great and are very skilled. If you love digital art your going to love this volume, but if you like the look of paint and old school rendering your better off getting a different book. I did love the cover art!!! If more digital art looked like that I'd buy more books on the subject :)

Without doubt an amazing collection for any artist, endless source of inspiration. The printing and presentation is beautiful which only serves to compliment the works found inside.Worth every cent.

Every single part of Expose series are amazing, part 11 too.Artists represent creazy skill and I can to watch all arts for hours.Just great expirience

Always a fan of these books.

The media could not be loaded.  Another year, another brilliant volume of art from the EXPOSE series.Just like the previous volume, this one features 284 pages. There are three edition, the paperback, hardcover and limited edition. The price difference between the paperback and hardcover isn't too much. The limited edition is only available from Ballistic Publishing's website.This volume's grand master winner is Roger Dean. He's known for painting posters and album covers for musicians. Many of those covers feature exotic, fantasy landscape. He has an unique style and interesting choice of colours for his paintings. You can see more of his work in his art book Dragon's Dream: Roger Dean.405 artists are featured which includes 200 new artists. That's plenty of work featured.The art is stunning as usual, as expected, of character designs, concept art, environments, sci-fi and fantasy.One thing I like about the collection series, EXPOSE and EXOTIQUE, is they use a lot of judges (13 in this case) to ensure that the quality of work featured is high throughout.Here's the list of categoriesPortrait (Painted)Portrait (Rendered)Portrait (Illustration)Architecture (Exterior)Architecture (Interior)FantasyWarriors & ConflictScience FictionRobotic/CyborgComic/MangaFantasy FemmesConcept ArtMatte PaintingEnvironmentAbstract & DesignSurrealStorytellingWhimsicalTransportSteampunkMy favourite sections are still the matte painting, environment and architecture. There's also an additional section on digital 'plein air' painting with a short writeup on Robh Ruppel and the advantages of painting outdoors. Robh Ruppel is the art director of Uncharted 2, and the ( art book is also published by Ballistic Publishing ).One quibble I had is that the grand master image for the Portrait (Rendered) by Siamak Roshani was printed across the page gutter. The nose is in the gutter and that is definitely not the best way to present a winning illustration, especially for a portrait.It's still an awesome book. Same can be said for other books in the series.Highly recommended.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Have been thinking about buying this for a while, was unsure about the content, but what can I say........amazing!!!! I loved it so much have now bought Expose 10 and will be buying it every issue from now on!!!!!

Beautiful art.
