The Art of Destiny: Renderman's Review
I am not a gamer and I have yet to actually play the new Destiny game, but what I do enjoy is great concept art. The art in this book is gorgeous and the work displayed inside is certainly inspiring. But as a read, I would have to say this book did leave a lot to be desired. I was expecting a lot more in terms of what influenced the creative direction and design. I was also looking for more in terms of what went into the actual execution of the art from concept to completion. The book is a mere gallery of artwork which is sufficient, but with a product so rich in detail it would have been a lot better if there had been a narrative worthy of it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A Must Have for Destiny Fans
I really enjoyed playing through the world of Destiny so this art book was a must have for me. It takes a look at several aspects of the games concepts including characters, locations & even the weapons. I would have definitely loved to have seen more but this is actually a fairly thick book already. Overall I really enjoyed looking through this book & it makes a great addition to my Destiny collection!
