Great collection for drawing reference
Considering you like Monster Hunter very much and admiring the wide variety of armor and weapons, the you definitely should have this book as your collection.

The package come in a quite art-covered-hard box, it's sufficient to hold the two books. The books come in colored and black-and-white. Both contain art works and concepts. The colored one is more to the finished art, while the black-and-white one is covering the basic sketch and early inception of design. Some of the arts come in very extreme forms that I don't think ever get to be displayed on the game.

The books are accompanied with naration, unfortunately you must be fluent in japanese language to fully understand the stories behind the concept.

So the only turn downs are not all of the collection are contained and the language barrier. Hopefully more games come with its version of art book and play-asia to kindly provide them for us.

Ledgendary !!
A must have for game designers, graphists, and Paleontologists ...(!!)

This Rules!
Monster Hunter Illustrations is absolutely stunning.
It is not possible to regret buying this book, it has everything. Illustrations, Concept art for Characters Monsters, Weapons, sketches and lots of them all.
Great stuff :)

Absolutely worth it!
I've been considering to get this or not for ages and I'm glad I finally did. Whether it's the monochrome book or the colour book they're both so full of detail that it's just amazing. This is a must get item for any fan of the monster hunter series, there's more than enough pictures of familiar and unfamiliar things from the series to last you for ages!

Really great!
The perfect artbook for all Monster Hunter fans!
You'll find sketches and other MH materials, rare images...
