In a sci-fi world of his own
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R1DRACTJTKCKW3 Nicolas Bouvier is Sparth.

He has been an art director and concept designer in the gaming industry since 1996. Born in France, he now lives in Dallas, TEXAS, working for IDsoftware.

Included in the book are concept art and matte paintings from his impressive portfolio. Some projects he has worked on includes Alone in the Dark (2001), Prince of Persia - Warrior Within (2004), Cold Fear (2005), and Assassin's Creed (2007). Art for Alone in the Dark and Cold Fear are not included.

The theme for his art is primarily futuristic science fiction and space. There are quite a few cityscape paintings with flying ships. The worlds he created as just as imaginative as Star Wars. There's no caption on the art except for the titles and dates.

This book is recommended especially to science fiction concept artists.

Sparth has a website for the book, as well as a blog. You can find additional paintings in his art galleries.

If you interested in science fiction art, you might also want to check out Quantum Dreams: The Art of Stephan Martiniere and Quantumscapes: The Art of Stephan Martiniere also.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

Art Of Sparth
Sparths work is amazing so this book should really good. I've always loved what he and the steambot guys did for digital painting and Photoshop in general.

The Ballistic publishing Concept Art title that feartured Sparth really showed off his work very well so i hope that this book does just as well.
