From the futuristic to the breathtakingly sexy, we take a look at the "Carte Blanche" section that will be collected in Assassin's Creed: The Encyclopedia, set to be included in the European-exclusive "Animus Edition" of the Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

With the US "Signature Edition" of Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed: Revelations getting different contents from the considerably pricey (100 Euros!) "Animus Edition" in order to keep the price competitive, fans in the US will not be getting the "Assassin's Creed: The Encyclopedia" book, but will instead be getting the soundtrack to the game.

So just what exactly is "Assassin's Creed: The Encyclopedia" book about? Released by UbiWorkshop, the project was initially planned to be an art book which was eventuslly expanded into an encyclopedia for the series. Featuring the works of illustrators like Craig Mullins, Tavis Coburn, 123Klan, Gabz and James NG, among many others, the book will be showcasing some pretty much stretching versions of the Assassin from the respective artist's vision. Apart from that, the book will also be containing a special "Carte Blanche" section collecting fan-submitted artwork. For fans in US who like to have their hands on the book, they can order the book from from Ubisoft's online shop. In the meantime, we take a look at some of the unique visions of the Assassin, submitted by fans with their particular take on the Assassin of their dreams, courtesy of Super Punch.
