Art of Darkwatch SC (2006 Running Press) comic books 2005-2007

1st printing. The Darkwatch spans the history of the ages. Their ranks and deeds are woven deeply and secretly into the events that shaped the world. Well camouflaged, Darkwatch agents move silently through the masses, keeping vigilant check on the horrors that stalk humanity. The hidden heroes of this secret society routinely sacrifice their lives to protect a civilization which is blind to their efforts, and fearful of their designs. Rome did not fall to barbarian hordes, civil war, or treachery. It was vampires. The book you hold in your hands is a testament to the efforts of the concept artists, the only part of that team whose work is traditionally never seen or heard outside the walls of the game-development studio. Working together with the game designers, the concept art department draws on its unique mix of talent, training, and years of experience to bring to life the world of the Darkwatch. The imagery they produce describes the world, characters, tools, and vehicles in depth and in detail, which is then used to guide the 3-D artists as they build the Darkwatch universe from the ground up. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, PC/PB&W Cover price $24.95.
