Kurzbeschreibung
Let loose the beasts of hell with top gaming artist Jim Pavelec ("Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering" and many others). The book progresses from basic to more intermediate, covering tools, setup, references and getting started, plus over 25 step-by-step demonstrations including: Demon, Goblin, Minotaur, Orc, Zombie, Lizardman, Fire-Breathing Dragon, Sea Serpent, Giant Octopus, Hydra, Gryphon, Winged Gargoyle, etc. "HellBeasts" concentrates on drawing and essential techniques for achieving "realistic" looking monsters, with finished demonstration pieces in color to create a dynamic, dramatic look to the package. Filled to the teeth with examples and step by steps, each section will also have at least one longer demo going from gesture drawings to finish while also showing skeletal structure, musculature, internal organs, etc., like an anatomy book for monsters.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Das Buch (kein Taschenbuch sondern ein Near-DINA4 Softcover) bietet eine Fülle von Monstern in sehr guter TEchnik und auch den Weg, wie sie entwickelt werden.
Der Stil ist aber etwas für Fortgeschrittene, die schon eine größere Menge an Zeichenerfahrung besitzen. Also nix für Neueinsteiger

I can not recommend this book to anyone. It is just an accumulation of a bunch of middle-rate drawings. Neither the shown creatures appear to be very interesting nor the drawing skills presented in this book do justify it's publication. The artist doesn't even know how to draw hands. So for the interested artist (with advanced or professional skills) this book won't be of any help or inspiration.I also have to advise the beginning artist against buying this book because of those sloppy drawings which in my opinion should not be imitated if you really want to improve your own skills. I don't know what went through the minds of those guys at Impact books when they chose this artist, maybe the person in charge just couldn't find his glasses when reviewing the portfolio.
If you seek some great inspiration and if you really want to learn something, I definitely recommend to get your hands on the books by John Howe, which have also been published in the Impact series. Comparing "Hell Beasts" to John Howe's books is like eating at McDonald instead of having a menue at Eleven Madison Park.

an excellent resource and inspiration
5. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Mr. Pavelec's book is an excellent resource for anyone in (or interested in) the fantasy art niche (though, the lessons is just as valid for any type of art, I believe). Though the book is loaded with all sorts of tips about making convincing and interesting creatures, I'd say the underlying focus is on the composition of a figure. Jim displays in many examples how to focus on the primary action or energy of a pose, even if the pose isn't inherently dynamic. The viewer gets to see many paintings evolve from thumbnail sketch to a completed illustration, along with a side commentary about why he makes his choices.
When I was starting out, I would have begged. borrowed or stolen to get my grubby paws on this book. Even as a reasonably seasoned professional, there are still a number of pearls residing between the covers.

Jim Pavelec (aka Iced tea guy) rocks.

Format:Taschenbuch
I'm not much for the entire fantasy genre and neither do I have the imagination for such macabre concepts. With that being said, let me continue and make you understand why I am writing a review, and a positive one at that!
Jim Pavelec is an amazing artist. I've read instructional art guides before and I never really got much out of them. Out of this one, I received way more than I bargained for! He covers the basics and the tools that you'll need to do what he's about to cover. At the end of the book, he says that he has many inspirations and that it is okay to use that inspiration from other artists to create something of your own. In finding your niche, you can go through many. That may or may not make sense, but it did me a hell of good! I never knew these monsters had names!
It was 18 bucks well spent, thank you very much. It made me want to become an illustrator and offer services to paint nasty aquatic on bathroom walls. I could write another page on how happy I am that I bought this book and the nightmares that Mr. Pavelec's creations dwell in, but I have walls to paint.

Average.

The artist is nothing but average. Not what I expected. But it still gives some nice hints. Good for your kids to start drawing some monsters, for the price is ok.
