@kalloway Thanks for sharing! So there are actually 3 separate books.

The first two had both Korean and English text:

  1. Oxide: The Art of Genesis
  2. Oxide 2 Carta Numinous - Kim Hyung-Tae: The Second Works

And this latest one was a Japanese publication which collected illustrations from both previous volumes, and added some new stuff.

  1. Oxide 2X: Kim Hyung-Tae Art Book

You can find details on all of them here:
