ATLUS'S Persona Art Books are some of the most interesting and informative that I have seen. As Persona is very heavily character based, a lot of thought goes into every part of their outfit, Persona, and fighting style. Persona is predominantly 2D so a lot of attention is put on creating crisp, finished designs. A lot of annotation is used to demonstrate exactly how things work as there is a lot of fighting involved and not using 3D models makes it harder to animate without knowing the specifics.
The layout of the page is simple, but uses a few of the character's specific colours to make it a little more interesting and make everything feel more connected.
The attention to detail can really be seen when looking at their fighting moves - everything is carefully storyboarded and planned out to make sure that it is perfect for the character in question, and the boxes and sections used help to separate the images and make them easier to understand. I will not be going into this much detail because of the nature of my work, but this is a great example or a clear precise way of explaining a character's design and movement.
