The highly anticipated third personal portfolio by WLOP!

A quick glance reveals that, like the previous two books, most of the content is directly derived from the author's serialized color comic book series.Ghost knifeThe illustrations in the book (which show how detailed the comic is) are all familiar, but it's still a pleasure to appreciate the large-format print!

Unboxing Series:

The artworks in this collection are all unique and there is no overlap, so you can confidently include them all – they are absolutely stunning! 💛

The same characters never get old, they're so beautiful! I'd also recommend getting to know the story structure and character settings of "Ghost Blade" so you can have a deeper imagination about these beautiful works.

The book includes a thin horizontal poster, Nora's Heroes List (with animated GIFs), and a small card.

The art book is the same size as "Ghost Blade 2", but much larger than a typical large art book.

The book has a high-quality hardcover binding, with a silver-stamped title on the cover that shimmers with iridescent colors, while the other text is embossed; the cloth spine is also embossed with a knife pattern and the book title.

WLOP's characters are captivating, holding your breath as you freeze in the moment of the image; even just a change in perspective is enough to awe you with each work, allowing you to enjoy such a visual experience!

Every new female character adds another goddess to the cast! 🤣 Their unique appearances, personalities, and exquisite accessories are all so endearing! (My favorites are still Haiqin Yan and Feng Ling, and oh, and Feng Ye too, isn't that almost all of them...?)

The art book also includes four double-sided fold-out pages, which is fantastic!

Besides the charm of the characters themselves, the work's lighting and the creation of the background atmosphere also immerse the viewer, giving the illusion that the scene can come to life, making it worth savoring!

The final chapters, "Dream of the Fallen" and "Cloud Insects," reveal themes beyond the Ghost Blade story, including some modern urban settings.

In his postscript, WLOP explains that most of his new works utilize "3D rendering assistance," mentioning that while some may resist the excessive intervention of technology in art, he believes that such technology greatly enhances the imaginative space and expressive possibilities of his works; he also believes that artistic creation should not be confined to specific methods.

Official Introduction

This book is illustrator WLOP's third collection of personal works, themed "Azure." "Azure" refers to the shadowy figure, representing Ghost Blade and the bond between Ghost Blade and Xilings. "Azure" is the representative color of Ice Princess Haiqinyan. The illustrations in the book were created by WLOP in the last two years (not repeating those from the previous two collections), and also include illustrations from her new serialized comics "Cloud Worm" and "Dream of the Night." The book contains over one hundred works in total.

This book is divided into 6 chapters: the first four chapters are "Group Portrait", "Lone Wolf", "Imperial Power" and "Human World", showcasing the scene and character illustrations from the "Ghost Blade" comic; the fifth and sixth chapters are "Dream of the Fallen" and "Cloud Insect", showcasing the exquisite illustrations from the serialized comic of the same name.

This book boasts exquisite binding, with design and printing of a collector's grade. It is suitable for CG enthusiasts, painting enthusiasts, and comic book lovers, and also for art professionals to collect and use as a model.
