Book Description
An artist of the spectacular. Each collection sparkles with pieces seen on book covers from around the world. Fantasy, science fiction, eroticism, etc... Royo has devised a special personal mix of media that makes his work so uncannily real, so beguilingly engaging as to make him a best-selling star.
Customer Reviews:
Shimmery art, strong women and men.......2006-04-07
Royo has a style in which some of the pale parts of the picture are so white they give the object a strongly shiny appearance, such as swords, hair, and thin white cloth. This book has some of the best examples of that style.
Another great thing about the book is that the last page has a list of all of the paintings, and if they are cover art to a book, the publisher and year as well. This is very helpful when I want to see the story that the art depicts. The descriptions beside the artworks are often difficult to understand.
Absolutely stunning!.......2004-12-20
I'm just discovering Royo, and have ordered half a dozen of his books in the past month. Secrets, Malefic, and Visions are all amazing! The quality of the artwork in Malefic is spectacular. The women are astoundingly beautiful, and the level of detail and realism is just breathtaking. Part of the reason I like these three books so much is that they emphasize fantasy themes, as opposed to the sci-fi themes found in Women, and the dark post-Apocalyptic themes of III Millenium. If you're new to Royo, get Malefic, Secrets and Visions - you won't be disappointed! The quality of the artwork in III Millenium is also good. Avoid Women - in my opinion, it's really cheesy and the artwork simply doesn't reflect the amazingly talented artist I've come to admire.
Could be called "Secrets II" (or that called "Malefic II").......2000-12-23
As the title states, these two books are quite similar in content. Detailed, photo-like paintings. Astonishingly beautiful women, sometimes depicted as fighting against Evil, sometimes as manifestations of Evil themselves - in both cases touched by or surrounded with light... amazing, other-wordly, fluorescent light, which could be the trademark of Royo. When I reviewed "Secrets", I wrote that if you only plan to have one of his books, get that one. Well, "Malefic" could be that one too...
Royo with a new twist.......1999-12-21
Again the work of Mr. Royo is beyond comparison and with Malefic he brings a slightly new twist to his fans. There are more male heroines in Malific than any of his other works. Excellent displays of both genders in battle plus poetic quotes by the artist to accompany each work. We glimpse into Royo's mind through not only his art, but his own words, helping us to see his vision of each piece. A treasure.
This is real art, the paintings on this book are beatiful........1999-09-05
The paintings on this book are beatiful,no words can descride just how wonderful this book is. I love this book! a must have for any true fan of great art.

Malleus Malefic Arum
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover
ASIN: B000RVRJD8 |
Book Description
The art of painting watercolors with spontaneity, so hard for beginners to achieve, is just a few brushstrokes away under the guidance of this great best-selling primer that shows how to achieve freely flowing images.
In step-by-step exercises, readers learn how to use watercolor's unique characteristics to interpret flowers, fruits, and vegetables with two brushes-one to lay in color, the other to manipulate form, resulting in loose, soft contours and beautifully blended colors.
Customer Reviews:
Definitely a good book.......2006-10-06
I do understand on how the book's description could be somewhat misleading. Not a book for the beginner, it does try nevertheless to simplify the process of painting fruits, leaves, flowers. It assumes you know about basic techniques. This is precisely why I liked the book so much. A book I will keep close-by. In regards to material: Economic 140 lb NOT watercolor paper and relatively inexpensive good synthetic brushes should definitely allow for the techniques to be performed with success. But, as with all things, persistent practice will be required.
the worst book on wc.......2006-04-27
This book shows absolutely nothing of painting techniques. After insisting that you absolutely must buy the most expensive brushes there is in order to succeed at wc, otherwise don't even bother trying, she randomly shows off some of her achievments (which are not bad), then gives you no more than 1 or 2 pages per project. It's another of those books that shows step 1, 2 and then pooff painting finished, what happened in between, go figure, or as they want you to, go buy another book that maybe, perhaps might give some better tips.
In short, her book is wishy washy, vague, short on technique, certainly won't help you learn to paint, serves only to awe you and put some bucks into her pocket and paintsuppliers' as well.
Don't waste you previous money.
I find this book fresh and inspiring........1999-01-24
This book has good demonstrations for the painting of flowers and vegetables. In it Mrs. Walsh tells a little about her own personal preferences for painting, her studio, etc., making it fun to read. I found this information very useful. There are many examples on how to paint the various types of fruits and vegetables, and a variety of flowers as well. The instruction makes one not afraid to try it! I am a visual learner, and this book met that need.
Book Description
A practical, highly visual introduction to painting natural subjects in watercolor. With fully annotated sketches, working illustrations and step-by-step demonstrations, this book explores all kinds of indoor and outdoor subjects. "...will provide inspiration whatever your level of ability." --Artists & Illustrators
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful Book.......2002-06-03
This watercolor book is a favorite of mine. The author describes and shows ways to do watercolor for everyone from the beginner to advanced painter. He gives demos that are interesting, informative and fun to do. I have used this book as reference over and over again and always will.
Natural Watercolour.......2001-04-30
As a returning art student this book is excellent. The author gives clear concise information as to the colors used to achieve the desired effect, as well as, wonderful step by step easy to follow guidelines. I have many books but none that have helped me more with color, composition, glazing and the delight of watercolor.This book is a must book for the beginner as well as the intermediate and advanced painter.
Customer Reviews:
watercolor fanatic.......2001-11-28
This artists is a master in color and composition, shadow and light. Highly recommendable for transparant watercoloring. Realistic but at the same time expressionist.
Make your best watercolors even better........2000-05-02
While there are many wonderful books available about other aspects of watercolor, this book is unique in its emphasis on the way that shape, line, value and color can be combined to create the desired visual flow to a well-positioned center of interest. The many color illustrations demonstrate how attention to composition makes the difference between a pleasant-enough painting (perhaps with beautifully done elements), versus a painting that really comes together as a cohesive and compelling whole.
The book is well-organized into lessons which build on each other. Becker writes clear instructions and provides beautiful illustrations to demonstrate every point. For example, on just one page he takes us from the original reference photo of a street work crew, through black and white versions, to his finished painting, showing (as well as describing) how he changed the value contrast and colors to improve the overall composition.
Watercolor Composition Made Easy does an excellent job of presenting "rules" for placement of the elements of a painting, and it also does much more. It addresses the familiar watercolor considerations such as blurred versus hard edges, light and dark values, the color wheel, and perspective, but always in terms of how they contribute to the overall composition. This book also provides many miscellaneous tips which Becker has developed in his extensive career. For example, I found the description of (and sample sketches from) his portable sketching setup to be particularly intriguing and helpful.

Book Description
The award-winning graphic novel Artesia comes to life in the Adventures in the Known World RPG, using a modified and easy-to-use Fuzion-based roleplaying system to plunge players into the strife-riven realms of the Known World, from the Warring Citadels of the Daragjan Highlands to the never-ending feud between the Sun Court of Illia and the Phoenix Court of the Empire of Thessid-Gola. Includes an expansive adaptation of R. Talsorian Games' LifePath character-generation system including birth omens, star signs and divine and heroic lineages, and rules for talents and abilities accessible to characters through the Arcana, the Tarot-like system representing the Known World's archetypal paths of power and the foundation of an unique system of experience, allowing game rewards for virtually all types of character actions.
Customer Reviews:
Sumptuous Offerings.......2007-07-12
There are a lot of things to be said about this book. It's a lavish and sumptuous offering for both Artesia fans and RPG fans alike. The breadth of information about our beloved Artesia, and the world she occupies is staggering and entertaining. The RPG aspects of the book have interesting mechanics and character generation is both fun and engrossing. The aspect I love most about it, is as a graphic designer it is wonderfully designed. As a book it is a finely crafted work of art. You can tell that thought and care was put into every aspect of its production. Very well done. Mark has done an outstanding job and I wish other companies would follow his lead. The world could use more RPG prouducts of this caliber.
This is what all RPGS should Want to be.......2007-03-22
I had thought that the days of all inclusive rule books had long passed. Most companies seem to focus on grinding out book after book of questionable quality, milking their product for all it's worth. But this book is an example of what should be the gold standard. Not only does it provide a setting with more depth then other games achieve after decades of dubious supplemental materials, and provide simple, working rules, to cover all aspects of the game, but it's a joy to just page through it. Not just the wonderful illustrations and maps, but even the layout is heads and sholders above it's "main stream" rivials.
Par excellance!!!.......2007-03-12
This is not only an amazing read for Artesia fans...but its got to be one of the most comprehensive rpg books I've ever seen. Lots of information, great artwork, excellent easy system to use. I've been "retired" from playing rpg's for over ten years now, but I was such a fan of the Artesia comics that I picked this up. Artesia rpg gave me faith in rpg books again. Much like the old ICE Merp books, its just got tons of information and paints the scene for you to fill in the blanks. Get this book!!!
Artesia AKW RPG - Fist Impressions.......2006-04-20
This book is probably the better looking RPG book I ever seen.
Hope you will be as much fascinated by it as I did .
Now I will go and read it. Sorry if this is not an in-depth review, but english is not my natural language.
Nevertheless i felt the urge to write something.
