I'm not familiar with the artist, but I bought the book based on the beautiful sample illustrations shown on the products page. I thought the rest of the book would have detailed, colored illustrations as shown; however, it only lasts for about 1/3-1/2 of the book, and rest is mostly character illustrations - full color, but some of them lack backgrounds, and certainly aren't as detailed as the first few pages. There are also many risque poses and even a bit of nudity, which I wasn't expecting. I wish I could get prints of the first few pages and give the rest of the book to someone else XP
