The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants: The First Ten Years 1994 - 2004
Ballistic Publishing, 2004. This high quality art book features the artistic journey of the legendary game company, Oddworld Inhabitants, over its first ten years - from Lorne Lanning's vision of the first Oddworld hero in 1994 to the present. The book is an extraordinarily high quality fine art production depicting the story of the art and vision of Oddworld, how the company approaches the art/design process, and maintains the highest standards of creativity and quality while evolving a coherent universe populated with characters with rich and unforgettable personalities.

Filled with stunning examples of beautiful artwork including production design sketches, color roughs, storyboards, game screens and CG/FMV stills. The book unveils Oddworld Inhabitants art that has never been seen before.

As Lorne Lanning (President of Oddworld Inhabitants) says: "Since Sherry McKenna and I founded Oddworld Inhabitants back in 1994, we have eagerly anticipated the moment when a densely packed and finely printed 'Art of Oddworld' book would find life. Finally, and only a decade later, the day has come for us to reveal the seldom witnessed pre-production efforts of the incredibly talented artists that have given so much of their energy and talent (not to mention late nights and weekends) ... to create the uniquely odd universe that has since found its way into millions of hearts and homes throughout the globe." 256 pages.
