Get Rolling on Your Most Inventive Artwork Ever!
What lurks in the shadows of your imagination? This book takes you deep
into the dusty corners and dark recesses where your most original ideas
lie in wait, showing you how to lure them out into daylight, and shape
them into fantastic yet believable concept art.
Experimentation is the cornerstone of Fantasy Genesis. A series of
dice rolls and corresponding word lists present you with an infinite
variety of jumping-off points and visual problems to solve. The
challenge (and the fun) is to meld seemingly unrelated and everyday
elements such as a caterpillar, seashells, fire or a hammer into
exceptionally curious, grotesque, oddly beautiful and totally unexpected
creations.
- 40+ step-by-step mini-demonstrations illustrate basic techniques for
drawing a wide range of fantasy elements and forms
- 3 game variations (complete with game sheets) lead you to create
fiercely imaginative objects, creatures and humanoids
- 3 full-length demonstrations show how to play the game from your first
rolls of the die to finished concept drawings
Use this art-game as a warm-up, a bulldozer for creative-block or a
daily sketching exercise to generate a stockpile of inspired beasties,
heroes, costumes, weapons and other never-before-dreamt creations. It
all starts with a roll, a word and your imagination.
