Dragon’s Dogma Official Design Works
Dragon’s Dogma is an action RPG developed and published by Capcom in 2012. As you can guess from the title, dragons make appearance in this game, and this game features the ambience of occident fantasy genre. The first edition of this book is Japanese, but the book that I’m going to review today is an English edition.
Standard Book Size
Dragon’s Dogma Official Design Works is a paperback book. It has 312 pages, and the size of it is 21 x 29.8 x 2.5cm.
Language & Contents
The original edition was written in Japanese, but this book is an English edition, which means every text in this book is written in English. Although there are some comments about the key arts, you might not need to read those since the portion of those is not high. The contents of the book consist of five parts, ‘Key Art & Image Illustrations’, ‘Characters’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Weapons & Armor’, and ‘Stages & Items’.
KEY ART & IMAGE ILLUSTRATIONS
This part features the key art images, and this part is a kind of an introduction before covering the main parts of the contents.
CHARACTERS
This part shows the contents of characters of the game, and mainly consists of color concept arts, and there are some CG images of protagonists and character classes. The pages of this part are as many as the ‘Monsters’ part.
MONSTERS
As I mentioned above, this part has the almost the same pages as the first part, and it mainly shows the concept images and CG images of monsters. Although it has fewer categories than the second part, it covers more detailed concept art images and CG images.
WEAPONS & ARMOR
There are three categories of weapons in the weapon part; melee weapons, ranged weapons, and shields. This part features those in way more detail than your imagination. Mentioning about the armor part, there are no CG images of armor, and the images of clothes worn are the main factor in the armor part. Also, there are a few images of clothes inside armors
STAGES & ITEMS
This part has the concept art images of backgrounds and fields and features the detail parts of buildings. The item part consists of images of equipment and props of the game. The amount of pages of this part is similar to the first part, which means this part doesn’t show many contents.
Concluding the review
Today I’ve reviewed the Dragon’s Dogma Official Design Works. The main attractions in this book are characters, monsters, weapons and armors. This book has the detailed concept art images and CG images, which are more fabulous than I expected. Bottom line, this book is worth as a good reference book since it’s pretty hard to find an artbook like this, which contains not only the concept art images but also the CG images.
Note: Any comments about the grammatical errors, or any other minor errors in the reviews will be welcomed.
