 The Art of Last of Us is a wonderful art book to Naughty Dog's latest game. I also have the  Uncharted 2 art book  and I love that book. I love this one too.

This book is packed with character designs and environment art. The concept art is top notch.

All the characters and infected are drawn out in detail and colour. There are various designs for each character. Lots to see. The infected, if you have not played the game, are not traditional zombies. They have been infected by some deadly fungus that grows and consumes the human body. You get to see some interesting and scary designs that you would not get from typical zombies.

The environment art are painted with astonishing amount of detail that makes everything seem so real. There are the devastated towns, rundown buildings, deserted streets and ransacked rooms. Most scenes depicted will make you wonder what the hell happened there. The level of realism you see here is unmatched even by big budget movie sets.

Spoilers appear in the book either as text or pictures. So definitely play the game first before going through the book. Other than that, there's not much text except the occasional comments on the art and game.

This is a fantastic video game art book. Highly recommended.

Oh, play the game first if you can.

(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

JUST BEAUTIFUL!

This is certainly a big and beautiful assemble of the greatest conceptual artworks I ever saw together, I must say Naughty Dog have some of the most talented artists in the industry nowadays, the artworks are really beautiful and it's nice to see some earlier versions of characters and environments of the game in those pages, it really added more dept in the understanding of the game goal and artistic vision.

Why not give credits for the artists?

As I said, Naughty Dog have some the most talented artists in the industry nowadays, like Maciej Kuciara, James Paick, Aaron Limonick, John Sweeney, Eytan Zana, Shaddy Safadi, Marek Okon, Nick Gindraux, Hyoung Nam, and Alexandria Neonakis, people that worked hard to make this game beautiful but in the end, this compilation or celebration of great artworks end up not having a single artist name on it. It's a shame that they didn't gave the artists some recognition for their big hit as well. I just couldn't find credits for the artists anywhere in the book, just the directors are credited. I think it is a bit unfair and very close minded for a company with such a big creativity in making games.
I know that from a company point of view give to much credit for a employee can be a path to lose them to another company, but in a internet generation of easy to find information, they should know that there are other and nicer ways to keep a employee happy enough to not leave the company. Anyway, just unfair.

This is a GREAT BOOK! One of the best game art-books on the last 2 years.

Let me start of by saying that I am an artist. I have an ever-evolving art style that switches between photo-realistic and idealistic. That being said, when I see the art in this book, I see true talent. Everything about the artwork is well thought out. Every detail makes them beautiful––the use of color to change the tone and feel of the piece, the use of natural, organic subjects for inspiration, and the realistic, contemporary, cinematic feel that each piece tries to, or does, denote. From the first page to the last, I was in awe by the sheer talent that each artist had and the care that they used for each stroke of the paintbrush. It is, quite simply, filled with masterpiece after masterpiece of stunningly inspirational pieces and each is better than the last. My one and only complaint, however, is this: not all of the art used in the game is included. Despite this small disappointment, it is a book that I will treasure for years to come; I'll be looking at it whenever I need that extra boost of inspiration that's required before I can finish a piece. This is a treasure to behold, and I recommend anyone, not just artists, to purchase this book. I promise you that your decision will not be regretted.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014
Allow me to start off with: The Last of Us was just a wonderful cinematic game. There hasn't been anything that could compare. Now being a big fan of the game, I was more importantly interested in the conceptual art due to being an Animation major, I have always admired their wonderful landscaping. When I saw they had it for such an amazing price on Amazon I had to get it. I was a bit wary because you can take a sneak peek of the book on here and thought maybe I had just seen the whole book on there.

After ordering, it arrived ten days later in a box encased with padded bubble wrap and air cushions.

What they show on the sneak peek is not even half of what you actually get in the book. The book has a beautiful hard cover and is sectioned off into "chapters" It goes in chronological order of what happened in the game. Everything from Young Joel and Sarah's conceptual design down to the University of Eastern Colorado's logo. There are pages and pages on Ellie's designs. It's interesting how it shows how she was a short-haired redhead once. It's also pretty hilarious how the infected designs are in the back, like the team that put the art book together were saving it for a big finale and boy, do they not disappoint. The infected conceptual art is mindblowingly amazing and creepy. They used to look really alien, I'm talking about severed heads being dragged behind by a two legged monster, but I'm glad they reigned it in and we got our Clickers.

I could honestly go on and on about the book, but really take my word for it, it's worth every cent.
