Back in December 2011 Udon Entertainment released Shigenori Soejima Artworks, featuring a plethora of artwork and designs from the Persona series. It seems like fans have been requesting and “clamouring” for more artwork, character designs and commentary by Soejima that Udon Entertainment intends on releasing the Persona 3: Official Design Works. This 144-page art and design compendium is due for release next Wednesday (June 20th), announced by the company a short while ago.
Persona 3: Official Design Works is more than just a collection of art and designs – all the other interesting content is also crammed in there from rough sketches and final production artwork, to storyboards and character designs – all with translated commentary by Shigenori Soejima in more than half the book.
Here are a few key features that UDON Entertainment are promoting:
– Hundreds of sketches, roughs, storyboards, and more, not included in Shigenori Soejima Artworks!
– An amazingly stylish collection, with reflective silver ink printed on every page!
– The secrets of Persona 3 revealed in a huge interview with Producer & Director Katsura Hashino, and Character Designer & Art Director Shigenori Soejima!
The recommended retail price for this release is $39.99.
