    5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book with real, practical value
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2022
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars THE creature design book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2020

    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.

    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.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2021
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    Reviewed in Canada on 9 January 2022

    This review comes from a guy who owns way too much art/reference books, often on the same subject. THIS one though..If you’re interested in leveling up your comprehension of animal anatomy, receiving A TON of knowledge you didnt know you wanted. And some of the most exhaustive works on the subject, buy this book. It is a true bible and it covers everything. Dont think, add a jar of mayonnaise to get the free shipping and do it.

    Verified Purchase
    Si es de tu interés o quieres dedicarte a la creación/diseño de personajes, DEBES tener este libro.
    No es un libro de como dibujar como tal, pero más bien que cosas debes considerar al crear una criatura (que comen, donde viven, como vive, etc), y como todo eso afectará su forma (como son sus dientes, huesos, músculos, etc, adecuados para su entorno), todo eso planteado desde criaturas existentes y además incluyen ejemplos de los pasos de creación de algunas criaturas incluyendo esa "investigación" que consideran los artistas.

    El libro es de calidad, buen encuadernado, buena impresión, hojas gruesas... lo que esperas de un libro de arte.
