Last month Chad reported about the incoming new artbook for the Atelier series. Today we can get a glimpse of the absolutely beautiful artwork included in it.

The artbook, published by Gemaga BOOKS, will include a whopping 256 pages of art in A4 size and will be released in Japan on October the 31st.

You can check the gallery past the cut, and be amazed like I am. I wish more developers published this kind of artbooks for their games. Too often some really great pieces of art remain hidden on some derelict hard disk in a studio.
