Kazuma Kaneko Works III
Release Date: 2008/2/28

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/477530609X/ref=dp_change_lang /250-0467872-9875469?ie=UTF8&language=en%5FJP

Looks like it covers SMT 3, and the Xbox game, plus some recolored art the first two games. I'm not a 100% sure on that as I put the text though babel fish and half of it was gibberish.

I ordered the other two volumes from Amazon.co.jp, so I recomend them.

I picked up the second volume at Katsucon, and while I wasn't all that impressed with the art style, its still a nice compendium to have. The 3rd volume looks even more promising though. Also, anyone know if there is a different between the art in Kaneko Works and the Book of Demons?

>> From the preview pages at Amazon.co.jp, the 3rd volume has the newer "metallic" digital colour style, IMO much better than his marker style.

Maybe Volume IV will have Persona art? Now THAT'll be a pretty package.

>> Maybe that other one is more of a "demon profile" book. It did say "small illustrations".

Man, the cover on it looks wicked!

That dude from Dokuganryu did scan the first book. People complain about his quality sometimes, but they do that all the time. When I get mine, I'll scan the cover's full art as always.

Some people need to STFU! (not you) but I've had people complain about my scans also. I'm spending my money and time to share these things with everyone, services people are getting for free. I hate it when people whine about free stuff. If someone wants better scans then they need to buy the book and scan their self.

I do plan on getting the 3rd book at some point (I have the first 2). I'll see about scanning but I make no promises since I'm so bad about getting around to it.

I hate it when people complain about scans as well, what do they need giant "perfect" scans for, going to make shitty t-shirt transfers and sell them on eBay or something?

...I do admit some of the art would make good ironic t-shirts

But besides that, I just use scans for art referencing since usually screencaps from the games are blurry and etc

..so I'm saying I appreciate any scans. Hell I'm the type that used to get grainy GIF's of Breath of Fire characters and try to make heads or tails of..well, anything

Forgive my scanner, there's dust underneath the glass and all.

Holy shit, this cover is un-fucking-believable. Okay, that's just my opinion since I love Nocturne to death, so take it as you will.

The art within the book is... well I only scanned like 2 pieces of them so I'll just post those, since they were among the few that could be obtained without damaging the book.

It's probably worth noting how the demons are classified by "Light", "Dark" or "Neutral" rather than by Law or Chaos. And the humans and a few demons are in "Other".

As for the lack of Law/Chaos, it's probably because they're trying to artificially get rid of the distinction, which utterly bombed with Maniacs. It became exceedingly obvious that every Reason ending was Law, Freedom was Neutral, and Demon + True Demon were Chaos.
