"Definitely one of my favorite art books of the year. It contains an incredible source of inpsiration from amazing digital artists all around the world. The high quality of this book is outstanding to say the leastl it will become a part of my personal collection for sure."
Frederic St. Arnaud, www.starno.net

" I am a proud owner of DAMv1 and DAMv2, so having the third one, and
completing the collection is pretty sweet. They've really outdone themselves this time with design, layout, editorial and the list of artists is incredible, even several friends of mine are in the book. If you have even the most passing-of-interest in CG and digital art, do yourself a favor and get this book, you'll thank me, so will your guests (if you leave it on your coffee-table). The articles are deep enough to put you in the artists head for a bit, and i'm pretty sure will even give you inspiration for your own creative work. "
Justin Lassen, Live Journal


" Let me start by saying these books are incredible, the amount of talent, the quality of the images and the overall look and print of the book make it a fantastic MUST HAVE for any aspiring artist or anyone involved in the creation of digital images.

Bare in mind though, that these books will not go deep into technical explanation of any particular software but rather will detail each of the 60 selected artist's techniques and their methods for sketching, inventing and creating these extaordinary elements and taking them out of their heads and putting them on the screen.

From characters to vehicles, backgrounds to robots, the masterpieces found in this book will inspire anyone who reaches its pages with an incentive for creation and a will to let your imagination take you places you thought you couldn't draw but after seeing what these people all around the world are doing, you just can't wait to give it a go.
