1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. this is a good source.By Juliet FischerThis is the paperback edition of a hardback book that had several pages of full-color illustrations. They can be distinguished by the darker coloring of bare skin. For writers or illustrators looking for ideas of costume and armor; and cosplayers and LARPers; this is a good source.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Resource for ArtistsBy M. B. SandersonI purchased this as a resource to be used in the development of artistic imagery. Prior to starting on a drawing; Ill often look at photographs; illustrations; and videos of subject matter in the same vein of interest. This book has a wonderful array of devices; costumes; and weapons; all illustrated simply and competently.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good qualityBy Bev.Exactly what I expected.
