The main areas where we promote and publicize our titles are on our
website, 3DTotal.com, and in our digital magazines, 3DCreative and
2DArtist. We host banner adverts on all pages of our website (in a
rota system) where they are seen by our 500,000 unique monthly
visitors. Our magazines have 10,000 readers per issue and we run
full page adverts for our products. We also regularly post free
book sample giveaway articles on our website, promote reviews and
advertise our new releases on various artistic forums and news
websites.
Further to this we have a mailing list of 10,000+ which we
regularly promote the books through and we exhibit at the Siggraph
exhibition every year (20,000 visitors).
We would like to begin to list distributors and retail outlets that
stock our books in a new section of the website.
Other Promotions
We have a strong relationship with Future Publishing, who make many
of the premier CG magazines such as 3DWorld and ImagineFX, and who
announce our new releases and publish reviews. We also have a
number of full page adverts running in their newsstand
bookazines.
We aim for all the contributing artists to post the news of the
book release on their websites and blogs.
We are building relationships with other large web-based CG
communities, such as conceptart.org, and plan to do cross
promotions with them.
We sponsor a few large CG based competitions each year, offering
the books as prizes.
"If you want a few good months' worth of primarily 2D painting
tutorials to make your way through, exploring various styles and
genres, this book will serve you well. Inside you'll find some
brilliant artists that take you through breakdowns of their own
images, whether it's caricature, sci-fi battles, fantasy character,
or dabbling with custom brushes. Aside from a gallery section that
includes some familiar finished images, the contents and artists'
insights are all new, making this a solid second step in a
promising book series." -- ImagineFX magazine
"I love seeing how other artists work. It helps me rethink my own
techniques and consider how I might do things quicker and more
effectively. Digital Painting Techniques: V2 is an inspiring kick
in the pants." -- Tim Warnock
"I have never seen one book that has such a diverse collection of
inspiring techniques and subject matter, generously shared by
incredibly talented artists." -- Dylan Cole
"Digital Painting Techniques: V2 covers a wide variety of methods
and demonstrates the quality that can be achieved using those
methods. It’s a great resource for new digital artists or veterans
looking to grow." -- Josh Nizzi
"In the last decade, the digital age has reshaped the definition of
art and the mediums in which art is created. The field of
illustration and concept is brimming with talent and inspiration
that continues to grow exponentially. This book is a showcase of
the breadth of ability in the industry today." -- Stephan
