From legendary Blizzard Entertainment artist Samwise Didier, The
Last Winter is a lavishly illustrated epic fantasy novel. Upon the
death of Sprign, goddess and creator of the Pandyr and all other
beasts in Mistgard, the island has come under attack by ruthless
frost and fire giants from afar. Long fragmented, every creature in
the eight clans must now come together to defend their land.
Hammerheart must join with Darkcloud, Mistcloak with Thundermaw,
and, most important, the children of Sprign must unite with their
forgotten comrades of the ninth clan: the Bearzyrk. Led by the
eldest of the Pandyr, the clans make their way to the Aesirmyr
Peaks for a final standoff. As frost covers Mistgard, old
prejudices must be overcome if the Pandyr hope to match the giants
Lord Wintyr and King Sumyr in battle. Features all-new original
illustrations throughout from Blizzard Entertainment art director
Samwise Didier.
The first monograph by the art director for leading video game
company Blizzard Entertainment Brütal: The Art of Samwise
is the first book to reflect all aspects of Samwise’s prolific
career and includes the most famous characters he’s created,
including Blizzard’s biggest heroes. Samwise’s unique art
style, which combines the use of bold colors, visual storytelling,
and a touch of humor, has been featured around the world and is
instantly recognizable to his legions of fans. As senior art
director at Blizzard Entertainment, where he’s worked since 1991,
Samwise has contributed art and art direction to many of
Blizzard’s games, including some of its biggest franchises (World
of Warcraft, StarCraft), and is known as the father and creator of
the “Blizzard art style.”
