Description
The first monograph by the art director for leading video game company Blizzard Entertainment
Brutal: The Art of Samwise is a career-spanning art book that assembles the many artistic creations of world-renowned artist Samwise Didier into one volume. For nearly thirty years, Samwise's unique art style, which combines the use of bold colours, visual storytelling, and a touch of humour, has been featured in numerous art books, illustrated novels, album covers, comic books, and video games, and is instantly recognisable to his legions of fans.
Brutal: The Art of Samwise celebrates all the artistic creations of Samwise's imagination, including many images never seen before from his personal archives. This book also contains selections of Samwise's favourite and most iconic images he created for the video game company, Blizzard Entertainment, where he has worked since 1991.
As a senior art director for Blizzard, Samwise was responsible for directing the art style for Warcraft, StarCraft, and Heroes of the Storm, as well as for creating artwork for the World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Diablo franchises.
