1) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. I am so amazed at reading the reviews of others,.. they obviously do not have the book. There are no images inside that has any color,only the cover has color, and the images are certainly a copy from other areas, nothing was drawn by an artist,.. you can easily tell they are copies. I´ll give my book to anyone who asks.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. The drawing is very good. The few men are definite body builder types. The women are drawn softer but still look strong. The poses indicate action, sometimes with mild threat, but no one looks really hostile. All drawings except the cover are in black an white, but it´s still a great value. Arantza should sell a lot of art, whatever she decides to draw.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. The subject matter isn´t nearly as varied as the Amazon review suggests; the majority of it is vampires and vampire-related activities. It is very well drawn, though. Bottom line, I tore out 4 pictures that I thought were especially sexy or good for art reference and threw away the rest.
If you like vampires, this book is for you.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. The Art of Arantza is one of the best art books that I´ve ever bought. Every single piece in this book is just incredible. Arantza´s technique is flawless and her mastery of the female figure is evident. Her realistic style brings and extra dimension to the fantastic subject matter, be it beautiful women, dragons, vampires or pirates. Many other artists in this genre are in the impression that drawing nude women will distract from the fact that they can´t draw worth a damn and their work appears contrived and lifeless. Arantza is old school, her influences are not just from comic books or pin up art. Nor is she trying to imitate Frazetta as many others shamelessly do. She has her own style that reflects a deep understanding of form and composition. She really brings a touch of class to the field of female pin up art. Highly recommended!¤ 5) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. The field of erotic fantasy art has been dominated by men ever since the pin-up days of the 40´s & 50´s. But in the Art of Arantza we are presented with a bold and fantastic female perspective from a rising star, Arantza. In this 64 page collection the brilliant Spanish artist shows off some of her most beautiful creations. While many female artists are content to illustrate serene pictures of angels or unicorns, Arantza proves she can produce not only eye-popping works of traditional fantasy art, but can also do so with an erotic slant.
What strikes me about the breath-taking women in this book is their natural look. So many male artists draw their women with exaggerated breasts but Arantza´s women are natural and graceful in their beauty and in their poses. Natural...but no less fantastic! Inside this book you´ll find a dazzling array of battle-ready warriors, Dragon-riders, sexy vampires, captive slave women, sorceresses, blood-spattered demons, and lusty pirates. Arantza uses light and shadow with remarkable skill and her work is amongst the most detailed I´ve ever seen.
It would be impossible to pick a favorite but some of the pieces that I love include:
A horned, female vampire, holding a chalice of blood, her head tilted back as if savoring the flavor as blood drips down her chin and neck.
Another female vamp, clothes in torn tatters, is chained to a wall, struggling to free herself from her bondage
A gorgeous beauty lies upon her bed asleep while a ravenous wolf prowls just outside the window with a bright quarter moon looming overhead.
A Mermaid rests languidly upon a rocky shore as a ship sails by in the background.
And lest you think her art is restricted to women, she provides several examples of wild-eyed, mighty barbarians that would make Frazetta stand up and take notice. This is not cheesecake art, however. These females are confident and commanding. While this book shows off her pencil drawings, Arantza works in oils, cartoon, animation, even children´s illustration and is adept at all. This is a spectacular book by a great talent and highly recommended for fans of fantasy or erotic art.
Reviewed by Tim Janson¤ 6) Paperback Book The Art of Arantza, Vol. 1 by SQP Inc.. Of the many supremely talented artists SQP has had the pleasure to introduce in its thirty-plus years of publishing, few have garnered the attention and affection of one particularly amazing young woman - Arantza! Her work continually stands out in a field dominated by men as simply drop-dead exquisite! Her sense of design, composition, and attention to detail is remarkable. Arantza´s ability to make her subjects, as varied as possessed demons, vampire queens, and savage warrior maidens all have a unique quality of fleshy realism. An Arantza illustration is something you can easily get lost in! Here is a woman who knows how to create feminine perfection! The Art of Arantza contains the very best of her portfolio, and showcases her visions of beauty, horror, and erotica!¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
