What do they think about Dreaming in Mech?

“Beautiful art book filled with gorgeous full-color artwork. [...] Some artists will try to squeeze in a story to explain things, but there's no time wasted on that here. I don't know that that makes much of a difference, though, because this type of book is eye candy. Buy it to flip through and take inspiration. Drive you to put a little extra time/effort into your own sketches and/or final pieces.”

“The book contains amazing arts by Nivanh Chanthara. Can’t wait to see more of his work or another Artstation magazine series. I really recommend art lovers to have this book.”
