Man, I was just browsing though the art section waiting on my sister when, Bam! Misplaced on the shelf lay this wonderful art book dealing with Fantasy character ideation and concepting. I love how he explains techniques on rendering different textures and info on speculars. Highly recommended=D
Thanks Dixon!

I saw this in a local bookshop a few weeks ago, it was a reasonable price (though I forget exactly how much). Will be going back to buy it after next pay day :3

For those too lazy to look: here's the book on Amazon. (http://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Artists-Figure-Drawing-Ready/dp/0764161148/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219941547&sr=8-1)

It's pretty reasonably priced too. Might just have to pick it up the next time I order some books. :)

I suddenly feel very self conscious.

For those interested, I posted some info and a little art from the book in FF a few weeks back -
