ETERNAL POISON PRE-ORDER ART BOOK GETS NORTH AMERICA EXCLUSIVE COVER ART!
Wait...we get something Japan didn't? ZOMG!
How often do we North American JRPG fans get something that Japan doesn't? Not very often, if ever at all. Well, Atlus wants to change that.

The art book cover you've seen so far (it's even in the glamour shot above) is just a placeholder. Master artist tomatika, whose unique gothic style has generated buzz among strategy RPG fans, will create a work of art exclusive to North America which will become the official cover of Librum Vespera, the Eternal Poison art book. So it's not just 100 pages of full color visuals in a 5"x8" art book, but an exclusive cover to boot!
Between now and the game's release, we're going to share with you work-in-progress updates and personal commentary from tomatika himself.
'Tis the season for North American exclusives!

STAGE 1:
"First of all, I put the principal colors on the layout. For this piece, I wanted the atmosphere to be based around oriental mysticism. To achieve this, I chose a diamond shape for the character arrangement and the patterned background. I usually do my initial drawing lightly and then add detail during the painting phase."

Expect later stages of development on the exclusive cover art in the near future!
