(W) George R. R. Martin (A) Gary Gianni (CA) Gary Gianni

This book contains all of Gary Gianni's artwork for George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Over 300 pages of beautifully illustrated scenes from the five novels in the series are featured alongside passages from the books themselves. Also included are illustrations from the two prequels of the series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms andl Fire and Bood. All together, the paintings and hundreds of drawings in pencil and pen-and-ink provide a unique view of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as seen through the eyes of the award-winning illustrator. All of Gianni's previously shown pencil sketches and paintings have been tightened up and polished for this collection, making them appear as new works. In addition, over 35 pencil drawings appear for the first time.

FRANK CHO BALLPOINT BEAUTIES HC

(W) Frank Cho (A) Frank Cho (CA) Frank Cho

Frank Cho has been making ballpoint pen drawings purely for himself for over two decades. This is the first time that these rarely seen works have been captured in a dedicated volume. Compiled here are his favorites, many which were done specially for this book. Most pieces are shown in four stages and accompanied by Cho's commentary to reveal his process. Included within the book are visual guides for drawing anatomy and body parts, plus a short interview where Cho discusses his working methods and answers the most common questions that he receives online. Also included are covers for his creator-owned comic Skybourne, where Cho has incorporated the ballpoint pen in a mixed-media format.
