So much fun to have this walk down the DQ memory lane。 The character and monster designs have always been my favorite part and having them in abundance here is sublime！

Pues， estuvo bueno， pero me hubiera gustado ver más comentarios al respecto como en otros libros de este tipo。 Pero fuera de eso， es un excelente material para ver lo que ha sido del arte de Dragon Quest。

This collects some of Toriyama's drawings from the ten DQ games that were out at the time it was released， as well as the spin-offs。 The main focus is on character designs， both of playable heroes and of monsters。 There's a very distinctive look to the work， generally with a lot of humor and weird details。 Some of the monster designs ended up unused， or weren't used until later games。 The DQ2 pictures include some rendered in pixelated style， although this seems not to have continued with other This collects some of Toriyama's drawings from the ten DQ games that were out at the time it was released， as well as the spin-offs。 The main focus is on character designs， both of playable heroes and of monsters。 There's a very distinctive look to the work， generally with a lot of humor and weird details。 Some of the monster designs ended up unused， or weren't used until later games。 The DQ2 pictures include some rendered in pixelated style， although this seems not to have continued with other titles。 As the book notes， the human characters start looking more realistic with DQ4。 I'm still not sure why in DQ3， a male gadabout/goof-off is a clown， while the female is a Playboy bunny。 All of the DQ6 heroes seem to have angry eyes for some reason。 There's an unused second form for Zoma from DQ3 where he's become a bunch of ghostly floating shapes。 Other interesting monsters that never actually appeared include the Tower of Eyes， a gas dragon emitting gas from holes in its back， a minotaur with one breast exposed （basically the same as the troll design， but with a bull's head）， and a tree with a bunch of hands。 The Imp from 3 is tentatively labeled as "Small Satan，" while a larger monster from the same page is "King Satan。" The book also notes how the original first form for Nimzo in 5 became Murdaw in 6， and an early concept for the hero of 6 evolved into Terry。 。。。more
