Dark Horse’s release of the individual artbooks from Yoshitaka Amano’s The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy continues this week with the third and final book in the set: The Sky: Book Three! Just like Book One and Book Two, these are the exact same hardback, oversized art books that are in The Sky Boxed Set (sold out) and Slipcased Edition (still available), but now each book is available separately, for those who don’t wish to buy the sets.
The Sky: Book Three is only $24.99, yet it’s 156 pages of illustrations on heavy, high-quality paper, 10 5/8" x 11 5/8" (27 x 29.5 cm) in size and bound in hardcover with an elegant metallic ink overprint. Book Three contains Amano's sketches and paintings for Final Fantasy VII (1997), VIII (1999), IX (2000), and X (2001), depicting characters such as Zidane Tribal, Garnet Til Alexandros XVII, Adelbert Steiner, Vivi Orunitia, Amarant Coral, Queen Brahne, and many others.
Bonuses include a series of silkscreen images done for Final Fantasy VIII, unreleased pen-and-ink sketches of the Gunblade, and designs for the gemlike logo of Final Fantasy IX. Check it out and see why The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy has been one of Dark Horse’s most popular releases ever!
