It is bothering my OCD that the picture of Chris in the above picture isn't a side-shot of his character model.

Agreed. Kinda bugs me, too.

Hopefully UDON brings some of the hardcovers to PAX Prime!

 

[Urban Scholar]

Lord have mercy!

 

[Oni Link 666]

I never knew Captain Commando took take place in a future Metro City. Interesting.

 

[enzo_gt]

Is there a thread for high resolution art work? Stuff that is normally used for journalists?

Yeah there is.

Good luck finding stuff in it though. I spent so much time hunting down individual character art and more in the highest res possible alongside other Mahvel promo art.

 

[Hours Left]

I need this in my life.

 

[Magnus]

Man I wish I had the extra cash for gaming-related items like this. Looks so sweeeeeet.

 

[Quadratic]

Bought! I would have splurged on the 100 dollar book but I'm not going to SDCC. Maybe if they have a booth at PAX.

 

[Strike]

Dayum.

 

[Hero]

Looks nice. Will wait for Ultimate edition.

Spoiler

jk

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Screw it. Bought.

 

[PK Gaming]

Very cool. I'm glad that they're keeping UMvC3 alive like this. Now they just need to make an actual comic series based on the game and we're set.

Buying this ASAP.

 

[Choppasmith]

[Platy]

Awesome !

Will probably get this, but will wait till i'm sure about how many Bengus artworks it has

 

[Brazil]

UMvC3 for the PSP? That's news to me.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

There's not going to be extra pages available via dlc in a few months is there?

Spoiler

I love Udon artbooks, will defo buy.

 

[chun li's thighs]

Got the hardcover over the weekend at SDCC. I was thumbing through it last night, definitely an awesome book. Thanks for the copy Erik!

Looks awesome, the series have some amazing art

 

[DoubleTap]

Pre-ordered! This will be a great companion to MvCO.

 

[Het_Nkik]

It's only 28 bucks on Amazon right now so I pre-ordered.

I'd prefer the hardcover but not if I have to go to a convention and pay $70 more.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

So, as somebody completely ignorant to the way this stuff works, I don't suppose these artbooks are ever released in a digital, hi-res format, are they? I mean, I can think of one really good reason why they wouldn't be (saves pirates the work of having to scan them themselves), but I figured I'd ask.

Not usually. I don't think any of the Capcom art books have ever been released digitally.

Thanks for the heads up!
Just placed an order.
I had clean forgotten about this book.


Seeing this reminded me that I needed to check eBay for a MvC2 strategy guide, something I look for every couple months. But they are so damned expensive! The wait goes on...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Udon? Crap art?

Is this a joke?

I wouldn't call it crap, but Udon's art style is extremely unappealing to me. Obviously the biggest turn off for me was their work on Street Fighter II HD. That game looked so goddamn ugly.

 

[Zaventem]

Buying softcover is a crime.This looks amazing.

 

[chun li's thighs]

Finished thumbing through the hardcover last night and came across some character design notes. I wasn't expecting them and they are pretty cool. I'm assuming the notes where in Japanese but translated for the book. Just another reason why you should by it if you haven't yet.

Better that than Falcoon. *shudder*

I wasn't interested in this artbook until you posted these; they're great! How many pages of this stuff is in the book? Also, could you estimate the proportion of pages japanese artists vs udon artists get in the book? I'm only really interested in the Japanese side, since they were actually involved in the production of the game, whether on the design or promotional side of things. The udon stuff can be nice, but it's just well done fan art, really -- i'd prefer all of it to be in a separate book.

 

[EndcatOmega]

True, but not exactly the highest standard to hold people to!

Most of it is official Capcom art from each of the games indicated. There's a section for Udon and other artists that more of an homage section, but the majority of it is art created out of Japan. The design notes and sketches section is pretty small, maybe 10 pages off the top of my head.
