Book Review: Oxide 2x

December 4, 2008 by Parka

This is essentially a character design book by Hyung-Tae Kim.

It contains characters from Magnacarta, Magnacarta the phantom of avalanche, The War of Genesis III Part.2, The War of Genesis III. At the back of the book are a few pages of line sketches.

The character designs are marvelous.

Included as a bonus is a how-to-paint process, although there are no captions.

Thanks to Kelvin Chan for providing the book for a short review.

This book is available on Amazon Japan and YesAsia USA.

Woka - Just found you can get it from Yesasia.com. Or just do a search for "Oxide 2x" on Google. Note that prices for Japanese import books might vary a lot.

This is very nice. I think

@Michelle
I have some Comickers books on the blog.

Hyung Tae Kim is the korean Rob Liefield, he may be a good renderer, or fashion designer, but all his drawings are anatomically wrong, if you are a professional artist, i suggest google his drawings online instead, there are websites that show his stuff, not worth the money.
