5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Royo's best,
By Rembrantley "paintslinger" (Anchorage, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visions (Paperback)
I have had the opportunity to look at most of Luis Royo's books, and this is my favorite. If I had to give away all of my Royo books but one, this would be the one I keep.Now don't get me wrong, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with any of his other books--some are stronger than others but I really don't think there is a weak one out there. This is my favorite primarily because I think the artwork is some of his best. The girls are prettier, their curves are rounder, the colors are richer, and the background hazes are more mysterious. The other main reason I like this book so much is that many of the finished pieces are accompanied by the concept sketches that preceded them. It's a great mix of painting, drawing, and even narrative that all come together to bring a Royo fantasy to life. Royo's figures are amazing to me--with a few strokes of a pen and a thin wash with a brush, he creates a beautiful figure, and voila--his piece is done. None of his figures are overworked--they all remain fresh. It's hard to find an artist who can scratch out a figure with so few lines, but it makes for a beautiful rendering, and Royo does it well. If you're shopping for your first Royo book, this would be a great choice. If you're adding to your library, oh yeah--you need this collection. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best,
By VictoryClassWoman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Visions (Paperback)
This is one of the best Royo books. It is a good mixture of everything: sketches (both plain and colored) and finished paintings; futuristic sci-fi and ancient to medieval fantasy; unhappy/worried characters and powerful/confident ones; dark/mysterious pictures and bright pictures; fully clothed and mostly nude; cover arts and independent art; men and women. Still, the works don't get as dark as, say, III Millennium. But it shows much of what Royo is capable of and I recommend it.
