On the other hand, this Ralph Mcquarrie Star Wars Art Book is $155 on Amazon right now. I remember seeing it listed at $250 when it was first released. I mean, it's a really beautiful book, but I don't think I could spend that much on it.
you could check out the Codex Seraphinianus it's a modern day invention
According to the top Amazon review "a big hunk of this book is [...] dedicated to Blade Runner".
<em>The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist</em>
There were a couple of books with design sketches and storyboards in the 80s but Blade Runner Sketchbook and The Illustrated Blade Runner are collector items and sell for big money now.
Clearly you need this because your own link literally fucking says Rosenbaum fucked kids. Also Snopes can eat a bag of dicks for writing a 1000 word dissertation to dance around the fact that all three of them had long histories of being criminals and pretending they were in the right when they all attacked a minor with varying degrees of lethal force as he was running away. While I'm here, just to make sure all the little Snopes simps come crawling out of the woodwork yet again to yell at me for daring to insult their messiah. Fuck Snopes, fuck Snopes, fuck Snopes. Come and get me you little mouth breathers, I love watching you desperately piss into the wind to defend the honor of a fucking website.
Syd Mead has done concept art for a few more sci-fi movies, like Tron (1982) and Aliens (1986), and I believe he has put all of them together in his book The Movie Art of Syd Mead: Visual Futurist, and it's still on Amazon.
This is the cover of The Soviet Bus Stops book. The only purchace I've ever made on amazon and it was definetly worth it. Appearantly bus stops was one of the few opportunities architechts got to really express themselfs and it made for some really interesting designs. Highly recommend it.
That's the pic they used in Barlow's Guide to Extraterrestrials! I grew up with that book (and Niven too of course)
When I moved to CO 20 years ago I was given this book;
https://www.amazon.com/Stray-Shopping-Carts-Eastern-America/dp/0810955202
and I use it every day!
The first, Tales from the Loop, is on Amazon. The second one, Things from the Flood (formerly Swedish Machines, Lonely Places) is backer-only, I believe.
He's released a couple fantastic art books that goes more into the backstory. Stuff is still pretty vague but it does a great job of building the world.
Here's the Amazon link for the first of the two: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1624650392/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ouRNxbPPQ0NVQ
Limited quantities when printed + sought after art book = high prices
The local library in my area had a copy in 2014 though and I was able to check it out. It's a really interesting book to look through. Not sure I'd want to buy a copy for myself though.
Edit: TIL it was reprinted in 2013. It was released for the first time in 1981
This one. Also, not that all the entries will be in Swizz.
​
English translations for each essay/entry is all in the back of the book
Can you remember if it contained aliens from movies/shows and literature?
Have you tried googling Alien Encyclopaedia?
Could this be it?
It's not based on the RPG in that sense. Both the RPG and the series are based on the original art book:
https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Loop-Simon-St%C3%A5lenhag/dp/1624650392
I don't have this book myself, so I can't give exact details, but:
The art book came first, it's an art book but with some story or narrative elements. (As I said, I don't have it, so I'm just going by the above description.)
There was then a kickstarter to turn it into an RPG.
The new Amazon series is, afaik, based on the original art book again, not the RPG.
I'm so sorry about the loss of your cat. I've had a variety of cats (still have 2) and it hurts every time. You may want to find a support group to help you get through this. There are a lot of online supports groups, including r/petloss.
Do you still see a psychiatrist or a doctor? Maybe he can prescribe an anti-anxiety med until you get through this.
Regarding your creativity - make an appointment with yourself to release your creativity. It could be an hour a week, or more. (The Artist's Way by Julie Cameron is a good resource for this type of stuff - your local library could have it.) It might also help to start a journal and just commit to writing on one side of one page each evening.
I had a cat that lived to be 21 1/2 years old. He could be a real pain in the ass, but he had a great personality. The one thing that helped me with his passing is the following quote:
>To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. (Claude Campbell)
I hope you find peace. I did end up getting two older kittens shortly thereafter, and while they did not replace my cat, they helped.
Quick, consult the The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification to verify the variety.
We bought these and have been really happy with them. First Little Readers Parent Pack: Guided Reading Level A https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0545231493/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WGV3Y8S76D8773QPJY9D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The other thing we got was a magnetic board that is also erase marker. It came with all kinds of magnetic letters. Usually I make a simple word, he writes it and pronounces it. We play it like a game.
Dude, meditate and read the Quran and bible then see how this makes you feel. You have tapped into the spiritual, it's up to you to take care of it get yourself a relationship with The Spirit. One of Carl Jung's drawings, which is called 'One word that was never spoken. / One light that was never lit up. / An unparalleled confusion. / And a road without end.' Corresponds to 'The Manifestation of Divine Light which is a Surah in the Quran.
May I introduce you to the psychiatrist Carl Jung who dealt with such sides of the personality(the unconscious mind). He made the Red Book which was a book filled with drawings of what he saw in the unconscious mind. With his minds eye he saw visions where he saw/heard things and those led to psychological breakthroughs.
I've seen art here on this sub play out into my environment in a prophetic way. I saw it in the sub then i saw it days later in strange place(obviously strange since I didn't expect to see it, and we're abstract why vibes) And some of it is reminiscent of the Red Book/New Book
Honestly why TF is Carl Jung called the father of psychology if We(people with abnormal functions he experimented with in himself and with his patients) are given pills and treated to strange conditions? I'm not a new ageist, nor a conspiracy theorist, I'm confused by how little we try to learn about how we were made.
I guess it depends on where he's getting stuck. Is it individual words? IE, does he have trouble seeing C-A-T and saying "cat"? One issue I've seen at that level is trouble blending the first two letters. They'll say "Cuh-Aa-Tuh" instead of "cat." One thing that sometimes helps is blending the first two letters together before approaching the third - "Cuh" -> "Cuh-Aa" -> "Ca" -> "CaTuh" -> "Cat."
If he can read some words but has trouble with books, then try simple beginner reader books. The libraries around here have this series, which I think is great (some are a lot harder than others, though). Amazon has some similar ones, like this (I didn't like these as much, but they're decent).
Keep in mind that different fonts can trip up early readers (for instance, having the "a" with a hood, or the "g" that has a circle at the bottom", and a lot of kids books can be pretty difficult to read.
The ones I have are, very worth it.
Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie https://www.amazon.com/dp/1419717936/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_608KT3VKPXA0ETQDW99E
The Art of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace https://www.amazon.com/dp/0345431081/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2DS6WQEJT6WPZFAMQNAR
This particular program was an adaptation of a book by a man named Wayne Douglas Barlowe. An artist known primarily for his science fiction work using conceptual biology. He attempted to adapt known biological and anatomical principles to speculate what life on other worlds may have adapted to become.
He's a personal favorite of mine. His first book: Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials illustrates creatures from several different science fiction novels.
Another book, Expedition, is about a journey to a world in another system and documenting the life there. This is the book the video is adapted from.
He also created Barlowe's Inferno, an illustrated guide to Hell.
He's served as a technical advisor on movies like Galaxy Quest, Avatar, and was the creature designer for Hellboy and Pacific Rim.
I don't disagree that TV has fallen a long long way since the glory days of the 90's, but I do disagree that this program is a part of that.
I recommend this, will really help you bring on your reading comprehension
Hmm my dad had a book like this that I would look at as a kid, its called Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials.
The Soviets also liked to show off their bus stops.
Yep! It's on Amazon and should be available on your local Amazon (since I dunno what country you're in): https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Loop-Simon-St%C3%A5lenhag/dp/1624650392 and if in Sweden: http://frialigan.se/produkt/tales-from-the-loop/
How has no one linked to his books yet?! I thought this looked familiar. I've got these two in my Amazon wish list for Christmas: Tales from the Loop & Things from the Flood.
Amazon sells all three. For a little over 20 each.
It was linked elsewhere in this thread, but it's on amazon, pretty cheap compared to normal prices, I paid about $240.
https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Art-Ralph-McQuarrie/dp/1419717936/
Edit: I have this one too, but it must be nearly sold out cause I think it was like 200ish as well when I bought it. It also contains a lot of non-Star Wars art.
