I seen a lot of artbooks for games and even movies these days, but what do people use it for? I mean do you look at it once and put back on the shelf? or do you take inspirations from the book for drawing?

I've got a few lying around: 2 for Assassin's Creed + a hardcover strategy guide for AC: B. 1 for Arkham City, Tales of Legendia, Metal Gear Rising, a promotional magazine/pamphlet thing for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and strategy guides for Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green. For the most part they just sit on my shelf next to all my comic books, but every once in a while I pull them out and flip through them.

I have a few from gaes that came with them. I like them, but not enough to pay extra for them. They are a nice bonus.

I just remembered I have a Castlevania art book I got with my Portrait of Ruin anniversary edition.
