Viva Pinata Production Art?

[lydiamuse]

I looked around google beforehand and couldn't find anything but I thought I'd give it a shot and ask here.

Does anyone know of a book (aside from the game guide) that has all the production artwork that went into the Viva Pinata games? Like visual development, concept art, game design type stuff? If not does anyone own the game guide and are there a lot of pictures of the Pinatas in it?

I ask because I'm currently attending art college and I adore these games, the design work and game play is a lot of fun, so if I can find some sort of book or collection of production work to have or reference for projects that would be amazing.

Thanks for the help guys! :)

You mean like an art book? I've never heard of one for Viva Pinata, but of course that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.
Now that you mention it, though, I'd be curious to see one. I love art books and own several for various fandoms; I'm in art college, too, and it's interesting to go look through them and see how the creators made their characters, and all the different design and concepts that went into them.

If you do all of the picture challenges in the game, it unlocks concept art for whatever you snapped. Unlock all of the concept art, and more will appear of stuff that didnt make the final cut. I hope this helps a little.

Concept art is one of my favourite things! I just wish VP had a proper book or something. Closest thing is what Amaroq's said, unlocking concept art through the second game. If you really wish, I've gotten a small collection of concept art and the like I've hunted down on the internet. I can share if you wish!

The in-game concept artwork (http://pinataisland.info/viva/List_of_concept_art) is also available at the wiki.
