I am about to start a project designing concept art for a video game, and I need some books related to the area as a reference...but I am struggling to find any. Can anyone help!?!?

Thanks.

Search for Artbooks!

For your project:
Just start scetching and juggling with ideas. If a certain mood is important make colorthumbnails and present them to your team.

Huge artworks won't be the first thing to deal with so don't worry.
Artbooks are good inspiration but don't copy stuff ;)

thanks for the advice!

I'm not looking to copy stuff, I need to include the books in a bibliography, the project is for uni. sorry that wasn't clear! I need some based on video game art theory etc. too, it's to show I have researched the subject thoroughly.
