The Art and Making of The Expanse

Bought this as a gift for a The Expanse fan. Little did we realise just how much detail the designers had gone to in order to create the believable worlds. Almost every aspect of the design of the ships, stations, suits, costumes, weapons, CG shots, everything, has been meticulously thought through to ensure the show is as engaging and believable as possible. This book contains page after page of stills from both the show and behind-the-scenes to show you how the shots were made. Moreover they also include CG preparation shots and wireframes to demonstrate how the CG was done, and how the computers composited the shots so seamlessly. The careful consideration made of each of the ships, and each of the factions was a delight to read through, and you could see the love and attention the crew have given to making sure the audience can tell at-a-glance who they're looking at, and whether they're bad or good. A brilliant source material for fans of the series, as well as a demonstration of how to get the portrayal of a Sci-Fi universe so right!

This is a lovely book. The recipient of this gift was very pleased.

If you like The Expanse you need to own this. You will sit there thumbing through it as soon as you open it. Great pictures & Great insight into design process of the show. My only gripe is I wish the picture were a little brighter in paces and that there was more of it. I don’t think there is much of the latter seasons but regardless it is a must own. Also, come on Amazon! get the last three books on screen asap.

Could have maybe done with less cast photos and more concept art but as this is the first art book for The Expanse I'm just happy it exists. If you're a fan, you will enjoy.

Excellent Book for Expance Fans, recommended 🧙‍♂️

I like it a lot!

An expansive behind the scenes look at the making of one of television's greatest TV sci-fi series

The book is stunning. Great quality and excellent info. I sadly have to send it back because one of the pages was damaged. No clue how this could happen but if I am buying something as a collector then I don't want the thing to arrive in a sad state.

Das Buch ist toll, wirklich liebevoll illustriert. Schade, dass es nicht alle Staffeln/ Bücher umfasst.

装丁がとてもしっかりしていて、絵が美しく印刷もきれい。ドラマの舞台背景が良く理解できた。

Pues eso, buen material de concept art diría que de las primeras temporadas de la serie, a modo general, de las naves, personajes, escenarios, armas, etc... Muy útil tanto si trabajas en Concept como si te encantó la serie y querías indagar más y hacer coleccionismo. Que ambos son mis casos :D Libro bien de páginas, de arte, datos, y formato excelente. Tapa dura con sobrecubierta. Una maravilla a ese precio.

Huge fan of the Expanse and this Art and Making of book does not disappoint!

amazing photography, quality book, husband was thrilled
