I have the art of matrix and star wars episode II. And I really like the star wars book because its filled with unused characters and concept art, and the matrix is basically storyboards and script. And I've seen the lotr and x2 art of books but they dont really have a lot in there. Its mostly movie stills filled in the book. So does anyone know of a good art of book? Something with sketchs and concepts and not just the storyboards?

There's some Art of Star Trek books that are decent, and there are actually some Trek books that are like speculative art of the cultures in Trek.

One of my favorite art books & one of the coolest looking I've ever seen is The Art Of Hellboy by my favorite artist Mark Mignola. It's over 200 pages of giant-sized Hellboy everything, w/ tons of sketches & stories behind them. The book is going out of print soon & with the Hellboy movie coming out this will skyrocket in value & be a very hard to find book. And the art is just stunning & it's one of the coolest & most dynamic designed comics in the history of the medium.

Here is some of the amazing art inside, the pics here don't do it justice.
