Put a note in your diaries, and mark it in your calendars as in February 2011 this epic book will become available.

Yep, it's a bit of a shameful plug, but it amazes me that we're at this point so soon in the company's early lifespan. Sadly I didn't get a chance to contribute to the book (although I did design the cover ) as it's more concept art-based than UI graphic design based. Maybe next time...

Concept art is A-OK with me is it going to be available on Amazon or through your site or summat?

[son_of_helvetica]

It's already listed on Amazon - I think the release date is wrong on Amazon though, it'll be out in Feb 2011.

Very impressive. Can you tell us what you guys are up to/have been up to yet?

[son_of_helvetica]

Cheers! Well, there's a lot of secret stuff we can't mention due to NDAs, but there's stuff on the horizon - recently we worked on the front end stuff for Enslaved. You could also make some educated guesses as to what else we're working on.

[Melon_Bread]

very nice, love the showreel on the website.

[son_of_helvetica]

Cheers! It's crazy how much stuff we haven't shown due to NDAs, etc.

[Ketchup]

It's even more impressive when you think how the company came about and how long you've actually been around.

[son_of_helvetica]

I'm amazed we've managed to get the company together and bustling with life during some of the most crummiest economic shitfests ever. Every day I feel very, very blessed. More to come!

[ChrisN]

Awesome. I reckon I'll have a copy of that.

[son_of_helvetica]

Cheers for the support, sir! I'm trying to get some exclusive fancy desktops in there too...

[ZOK]

I'm not very keen on much of the work on the showreel to be honest, but the landscapey / building stuff (the futuristic landing strip, the factory, the cityscape) are really amazing. Well done!

I knew there was a reason we ate cake like fat kings on a Friday.

[Dave White]

lovely stuff indeed.

Sci fi stuff was my favorite

The book is available to pre-order from 3DTotal with the offer of a free (free!) t-shirt. You can check out a virtual preview of the book here.

We've got advance copies in the studio - it's pretty surreal to see it finally in the flesh and a tangible thing. You won't be disappointed - excellent print quality and the shiniest of slipcases. I think we're all pretty stoked, brilliant way to end the week

[moosegrinder]

Mines pre-ordered like a motherfucker

We've just announced a swanky competition too in association with Wacom and 3dTotal. There's some pretty swish Wacom tablets on offer as well as other lovely prizes. Go to that link now and see how you can take part!

I see you guys did some work on the new Mortal Kombat via a post on Kotaku. Lovely environment art!

[JoeK]

Lovely stuff. Do you do cool character designs for small figure producers ?? Preferably for around 50p and a packet of biscuits? Hmm? HMM?

JoeK Minis presents: ATOMHAWK ARMIES. Or some such.

It's a lovely book, very happy with it.

Cheers! I animated some of the character endings too

Really want us to investigate the toy figure industry, would be cool for some of our designs to be made into plastic reality. Two words sadly - too busy

Thank you, sir! Glad you like it! We really want to get cracking on a second book, it'll be even more vast in scope and awesomeness.

As an aside (aside) - looks like the Atomhawk bunch may be signing our book at GameHorizon. Yikes.

[Valiant]

Looks nice.
