Digital Monster Art Book Version X Announced, Pre-Order Details!

[MarcFBR]

More X-Antibody stuff to order!




The 3rd Digimon V-Pet art book! Digital Monster Art Book Version X!


This book covers the various Digimon X V-Pets, along with various making of and extras, so there will be a decent amount of material.



They've put up samples and various teasers for those who are considering ordering it...


First up, the main Digimon art pages.



The overall setup appears roughly identical to the previous art books.

This covers 180 Digimon appearing in the Digimon X V-Pets, including Alphamon.



Then there is the samples and teasers for various other things...



All the Royal Knights and Seven Great Demon Lords from the X series are included (that's sort of covered by the above... but they're popular characters so I guess they wanted to point it out again.)




An image by Soh Moriyama symbolizing off the final battle of the X series between the Royal Knights and Seven Great Demon Lords!



The last bullet point gets no image, but they tease all of Chronicle X being included in the artbook, along with new illustrations.





There will be 224 pages and the pages will be A4 size (8.27 x 11.69 inches.)


Pre-orders for the X art book are open at Premium Bandai. They will be open until December 2nd for 4,950 yen. It's scheduled to ship in March.


Of course, the Digimon X3 is also being released.

... Gah, I'm torn.

On one hand, I've purchased the first two V-Pet art books and I love supporting products like this.

On the other hand, the X-Antibody artwork deviates so much from the original style and I'm just not a fan of it. At all.

Of course, if I skip it, I just know I'll miss out on something cool.

... Gah.

I mean if you buy it and regret it you shouldn't have much trouble selling it on Digimon communities or ebay in the future especially since they tend to go up in price. Plus there are a few old designers who have made art for this.

This is what I've been waiting for! The third member of the V-Pet artbooks to fill my bookshelf!

I love the artbooks! Mostly because we finally get hi-res images of Digimon. March is too far off though :/

They'll prob Tweet out some nice HQ ones of all these new guys way before that.

I pray for the success on X3 to birth new V pets series of Digimon or X4 if possible after this.

Can't wait to see HUGE images so I can see easy to draw if I miss out which I overlooked or not. All X forms in pictures from are only limited to 900x900x or less.

[Shadow Shinji]

Oh wow Digimon Chronicle X all together with new illustrations! I guess we are coming to an end. That picture from Soh Moriyama looks like if a modern take of La Divina Comedia meets Digimon! I'm so hyped 😊❤

[Muur]

Wow, you get the Chronicle X manga with it too, that's really cool.

bless these books for giving me a high resolution look at Digimon who don't have 3D models. I'm the type to spend half an hour just memorizing details of character designs and these books are usually the only place I can see official artwork that isn't blurry that I know of
