From the publisher:

To celebrate 25 years of 3dtotal and show our support to a community we love, we wanted to make something that pushed back against AI, showcasing real art by real people in the best way possible, while also creating a true collector's item.

Our ambition is to make every issue feel like a collector's item, designed to increase in value over time. Each copy of Astre Volume 01 is individually numbered and features mixed paper types, pull-out prints, and special finishes - embossing, debossing, cut-outs, removable add-ons, glow-in-the-dark effects, and more. If you can imagine it, then you should expect to find it in Astre.

Each issue includes pull-out prints from every artist, with articles exploring each artist's creative process and unique vision. The first issue features incredible cover art by Andrew Hem, with pull-out art prints and features by Audra Auclair, Janice Sung, Chantal Horeis, Feefal, Sean Layh, Eliza Ivanova, and Michał Sawtyruk.
