Never saw this for sale. Too bad that the price is irrational.

Employee selling the book. Huh.

They should consider selling copies of the book publicly.

Whoever gets this, please share the artwork somewhere so that it's not just lost in the void.

It's probably breaching something but I think the book being outside of developers' hands already is...

This is ridiculous...

That's pretty awesome. It's always a shame that the shows and movies and games with awesome artwork ends up never being sold... or if it is, the books are extremely hard to come by or expensive.

Someone actually bought the bugger. Wow.

^ Honestly, that's not that surprising for something that rare.

Looks pretty cool imo. It should be released publically or as a preorder bonus for Skylanders 4

I found some interesting concept art from this page by one of the artists who worked on Swap Force -

^Huh...Interesting, the art looks realy nice.

I think I see chop chop in one of those pics....

Yup. Definitely Chops.



Now that's some cool stuff there. If you click the guy's name, he also has a folder with some Mabu looking guys from SSA 3DS.

EDIT: Arrggh. Flickr is infuriating. One of my least liked image sites. For me, everything is coming up blurry. If you right click on the image you should see "View Page Info". click on that, and then click Media at the window that opens. Go through the links and you'll eventually get to 2 versions of the image. One blurry (i guess to load first? wtf) and one clear. You can highlight and drag that to a new window to view the image and then obviously take it and put it into the forum.


Also this guy is rad

That toad-knight guy is DEFINITELY a scrapped Bounce Swapper.

Well, he does look like he's supposed to be a Skylander. I wish they had actually used him and tossed him in Water because I feel his design looks so much more original than Punk Shock or Rip Tide. He's another water-creature-hybrid, sure, but at least his armor being regular armor and him not using any water-like items sets him apart. Plus, I get the feeling that his colour scheme wouldn't just be BLUE LOL. Some may say he seems unfitting for water, but that's not that bad in that case imo because he's still a water creature, so it still makes sense.

Actually, I'd bet on him being a Magic Skylander, with the whole kissing frogs and they turn into princes thing, with some backstory poking fun at that.

Should we give the Frog a name?

How about the Frog Rinse?

Geddit?!?!

Fine, me and my horrible puns are leaving

Or how about REJECTED! because that's what he is.

I don't understand employee only artbooks for things. Then again I feel all art should be seen...

That cover art is a giant mural in the Vicarious Visions office lobby in Albany, NY. I took some pics when I was there - I'll see if I can dig them up.
