The Art of How to Train Your Dragon is pretty awesome!
There's a few bits from it here: http://characterdesignnotes.blogspot.com...arlet.html
there's a couple of "MEH" bits in the book when you see the progression of the design for Hiccup, the final sketches are just so... SmarmBrow Generic
but Nico Marlet's work is always gorgeous forever
and the Art of Up is nice, too! Again, lots of really strong shape design
and they took a simpler approach to the character models, there's a lot in there about taking an influence from stop-motion character design, which is really interesting
Stuff from that here: http://louromano.blogspot.com/2009/05/ar..._3697.html
