"Mythes et légendes" artbook review

[dhampyresa]

This artbook is the "collection of pretty pictures by various people" type of art book rather than the "includes tutorials by a single artist" type of artbook. I like both these types of artbooks and own multiple of each, as well as "collection of pretty pictures by single artist" and "includes tutorials by various artists".

It's published by YBY Éditions, with text in both French and English. The text is titles for the illustrations and sometimes a few sentences about the content.

My favourites were (featured here as pictures of the pages):

I like the use of light to portray intimacy.
Eros and Psyche, by Robbuz


The minimalist use of colour here is really neat.
Doctor Faustus, by Couple Of Kooks


The green and purple work so well together!
Blind Love, by KME


I love the multiple light sources.
Moonlight, by Sara Deek


Transmasc/transfem yin/yang is so cool!
Yin and Yang, by Mathilde Périé



The book contains 46 illustrations total and I enjoyed all of them.

I really like the figures in Eros and Psyche, but there's something wonky about the placement of those wings.

These are all entrancing

Is there a Persephone connection in Moonlight, or are there just a bunch of pomegranates?

Blind Love, by KME

I love the intimacy of the snakes reaching to hold the lover as the lover reaches to hold Medusa.
