A year ago, I discovered a magazine called ImagineFX, published in the UK by Future Publishing. This editor publish Italian version of some of his magazines even in Italy, like Computer Arts or 3D World. Unluckily there isn’t an Italian Version of ImagineFX. So, past Christmas my boyfriend payed me a 13 issues subscription as a gift. Now I arrived to the 12th issue and I want to renew the subscription, I found this magazine really useful, full of great informations and tutorials for people like me, that have passion for fantasy and sci-fi art.

Now, I’ve renewed my subscription! And as a gift, I will receive a Gnomon Workshop DVD! Issue 39 was released in middle December, but I received it a bit late due to postal service problems. The subscription word-less cover is amazing, I really love the concept of the samurai.

Issue 39, actually on sales, features these contents:
