Hi Quoll I have "The Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques" , and I agree it is an excellent book, and it contains very useful information, but only about 5% or less deals with computer techniques. As a more general reference, I too recommend it. "Digital Fantasy painting" stresses the "digital", using Vue, photoshop, etc (also recommended). There are a number of excellent books out now for Digital Art Techniques. All different approachs, so you can pick and choose the approach/subject you like. Everybody looks at things a different way. :O)
