Hey! I hope it isn't rude or anything, but I wanted to ask your opinion on the Psychoanuts Art Book. I'm thinking of getting it for myself but the price tag hurts a bit, and Im wary of buying something this expensive without having an idea of how good it is.

Ps. I don't really care about spoilers, so whatever you want to say about the book will be helpful, part of me really wants to know if there's concept art for PSI King's Sensorium bc it's my favorite level

Thank you for your time!

definitely not rude at all!! I'd be happy to give a brief review of the book as is

first of all, this is quite possibly the biggest art book in my whole collection, page count AND size wise. I'm not sure if it's because most of my other art books are for movies & tv shows, while this is a video game, but a lot of the former cap out at around 200 pages

this book has 400 pages, and a lot of those pages are almost just exclusively showing off the art so you get a lot of really satisfying 2 page spreads

it's really thick tall and heavy with a solid, cool looking hard cover, nice binding & good quality paper, looking at the art itself is really pleasing

honestly one of my only complaints is that reading it is a bit annoying physically bc i have to find a good position to comfortably put it in 😂 its so heavy!! and if you do get it be sure to find a tall bookshelf for it, mine just barely fits so it is possible

the contents themselves are basically all I'd been hoping for, there's soooo much artwork and a lot of commentary both from the author herself + loads from the development staff.

notable example that i liked a lot: the folks double fine had consulted for the mental health sensitivity provide commentary for the new mental enemies, very illuminating stuff!

also do NOT worry, they have Psi King Sensorium concept art!

The contents they cover here are really thorough, there's a little bit here for everyone!

5 stars, I only mind a little bit that it got delayed a few times because I think the book itself is 100% worth the price if you're invested in this game and interested at all in video game development

[side note: having watched the psychodessy is not necessary but makes reading the art book extra interesting bc I recognize a lot of the development team's names now! shout out to gigi's super cute art style i love those tiny raz's]

I DID IT.

I bought the Art of Psychonauts 2. Was shipping extortionate? Yes. Will it take a while to get to the UK? Yes. Do I regret it? No....not yet, anyway.

Please excuse me. I have a duty to dedicate all my time to reading this front to back over the next few days.

* New AU idea where everyone’s a D’artagnan equivalent (concept art that was turned into an individual character)

I'm not buying the Psychonauts Art Book. The shipping costs more than the book itself. Still, I'm curious.

Anyone who had the book willing to share some tidbits about it? Especially about Frazie, Norma, and Lizzie, since those three are my favourite characters, aside from Razputin.

ADDITIONALY re:fat bodies and Psychonauts 2 Art Book Spoilers, I'm posting one screenshot bc it's something I've wondered abt for ages

I can not BELIEVE that i never even once considered the idea Nona could have a rounder/fatter body type under there. No wonder any drawings I tried to sketch with her out of her big coat always felt a little wonky to me. im sorry queen I'mma draw you as a chunkly little bean next time I get around to it I promise.

THE ART OF PSYCHONAUTS 2 IS AT MY HOUSE HOLY SHIT BALLS

[psychonautswebarchive]

UPDATE!! Added information on the vinyls, as well as that I've added the art book listings and the collectors edition of psychonauts 2 to the gallery ^^ if anyone has other vinyls/soundtracks or disc arts they would like to share please send them in! It's surprisingly hard to find images of each individual record
