Everything I expected and more
by Alexandra Stoina
The book arrived very late but it was the national delivery company from my country that made a mistake. The book came in impeccable state. No damage at all, all new and untouched . Very good information, creative and helpful.

This has everything. Literally everything for designing your own creatures from scratch. You’ll learn how to properly research the anatomy of your animal, create a life cycle, form proper scale and prespective and so much more. They even include several different types of creature they themselves have made along with the design and research process the artists undertook (Scavangers, carnivores, herbivores ect). 3DTotal continue to outdo themselves with brilliant and informative art books.

It’s not that it’s a bad book as it’s got a lot of good information in it regarding design concepts. But it didn’t really cover much I hadn’t thought of before. And it’s way too pricey in my opinion.
Although If you’re just setting out with creature design then I guess it’s a good book to learn from.

Good balance of images and text explanations covering the design and thought process.

This book is packed full of beautiful illustrations and advice, but where it really shines for me is the step-by-step case studies that are presented.
Whether you’re a professional, novice or just an interested party, this book has something for everybody. The way it encourages one to think about the anatomy, evolution and habitat of the creatures that are being created.

Literally, this book is insane. Changes your thinking of creature design to god mode. Also you get more value than you payed for which is really nice. 69/10
