About this title

Synopsis

Part human, part animal -- all fantastic!<br /><br />Veteran illustrator Ryo Sumiyoshi stretches the boundaries of fantasy human-animal hybrids in his new book--presenting not just the usual jungle beasties but a fascinating array of strange and unusual creatures found nowhere else! Sumiyoshi's extensive sketchbook ideas, drawing tips and full-color examples combine insights on body structures and movement with conceptual sketches and notes linking physical attributes to personality and behavior.<br /><br />The hundreds of drawings in this book show you how to create a rich menagerie of fantasy characters:<br />

• Anthropomorphic furries based on the classic dog, cat, fox and werewolf-type characters
• Humans with animal features like a hunter with a bushy tail and the crafty face of a cat
• Animals with human features, for example a six-legged tiger with a human face
• Animal-to-animal hybrids including a snake-fox and a griffinesque chimera

<br />These creatures boast mix-and-match fangs, beaks, paws, claws, fur, fins, feathers, scales and plates paired with expressive human attributes. And they come from every branch of the animal kingdom--from mammals to birds, reptiles, fish and insects--and everything in between.<br /><br />This is the ultimate sourcebook for anyone interested in fantasy creature design!
