Let's Kickstart This! The Art of Creature and Character Design
By Nolan P. Smith
Have you ever wondered about the process that goes behind all the cool creature and monsters we see in films? The ideas, the design elements: if you have, then you need to check out The Art of Creature and Character Design by Sandy Collora.
Here’s the Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/292967578/the-art-of-creature-and-character-design
Here is some info straight from the project’s page: “The Art of Creature and Character Design, is a project I have been wanting to do for quite some time now. It’s a very informative, comprehensive, lavishly illustrated volume on the art and aesthetics of creature and character design for film, video games and toys. It will explore the style, approach, technique, and inspiration of some of the best creature and character designers in the world.”
This book looks like a vital resource to character designers, FX makeup designers, and even to those who want a look behind the curtain. This project ends soon, so check it out now!
