The Art of Dishonored 2

The book is the best you can expect from an art book, it shows concepts and changes, as well as some stunning art works, if I didn’t love the game before, I do now

Initially purchased on 24th October 2016, how time fly's. I personally hold the Dishonoured Franchise in the same regard as Bioshock (The Original And Infinite, Not 2) Even with todays triple AAA blockbusters with astonishing visuals I still find myself returning to Dishonoured 1 & 2, good visuals, interesting characters and multi-layered levels.This book out of the thirty plus I own may be my favourite. The Art Of Prey book is also very good. The artists at Arcane Studios produce some incredibly stylish images, combining classic materials with knowledge of modern design to produce extravagantly opulent structures. This is yet another impeccable entry from Dark Horse, some people complain about the lack of 3D rendered images but I personally prefer the drawings/paintings/art-work. Astonishing images of the beautiful Mediterranean environments and the elegant multifaceted characters.The designs of the characters could be interpreted as a commentary on class structure. Each social class has a unique silhouette. The everyman grunt on the street wear corresponding hierarchy issued smart uniforms. But they speak in a harsh tone and have weathered faces in comparison to the officers who speak clearer and carry themselves better. Jindosh's meticulous appearance and sharp analytical gaze gives him an air of superiority and with his dizzyingly high intellect and expensive tastes leave the player feeling less than him.I personally would consider £40 quite a lot but considering the quality of both the product and content within if you're a Dishonoured fan and have the opportunity to purchase this book do not hesitate to do so, a must have.

The game remains [in 2021] one of my favourite games of all time and seeing the inspiration of artists and the magic that is Arkane Studios' creative process in the designs of karnaca and expanding the world of dishonoured is a delight. From the evolving art styles of an NPC over decades to the design of keyboards and train-cars you'll be swimming in style, skill and stunning pieces of art that spark the origin of the game world in the game. Full of pieces of art I'd love to see on my wall any day and certainly a must buy for Dishonoured 2 fans and art lovers!

Got this as a birthday present for my friend and they absolutely loved it, the book arrived on time and in great condition.

Filled with very striking pieces of art, this book will give you the inspiration boost you seek to find. And will certainly be an important companion to any fan of the magical and realistically stylized world of Dishonored.And if they say it will deliver in 1-2 months, they mean it. The book arrived safely, but the packaging is a bit sloppy as the book is thrown into a big box with some rough paper placed next to it. And that alone can't stop the corners getting rounded slightly. Nevertheless, a highly recommended artbook!

Everything you'd expect. A lot of detail on concept art, environmental design and the realisation of the world of The Isles. A shame we didn't get a book this detailed for the first game, focused on Dunwall, but it is still covered somewhat in this one. Personally for me there was too much focus on some of the incidental details in the game rather than a detailed look at the individual level settings (like the Jindosh mansion, the Conservatory, Addermire Institute) which is where the game really excels. Still a worthy purchase.

As a huge Dishonored fan I couldn't help but purchase this and all I can say is wow! This is the perfect item to go with all my collective items from the Dishonored series. I wasn't sure how big the book was going to be but I was not disappointed! The artwork in this book is purely amazing. The detail the artists have gone into is outstanding. I can see why the original price is £40 and it truly is worth every penny!

The most unbelievably incredible artbook, thank you.
