Незалежно від того, чи ви — працюючий художник, який хоче дізнатися більше про цю галузь, чи початківець дизайнер персонажів, щойно закінчив середню школу, The Ultimate Guide to Character Design with Stephen Silver надасть вам глибокий погляд на процес створення персонажів, а також інструменти, необхідні для створення власних ефективних персонажів. Цінні техніки та посібники Стівена Сільвера, розроблені на основі десятирічного досвіду художника в індустрії розваг і власника Silver Drawing Academy, допоможуть вам зміцнити впевненість і зміцнити свої знання в мистецтві дизайну персонажів, щоб успішно створювати дизайн для будь-якого проекту в будь-якому стилі.

Перша колекція мистецтва Макура Курами.

Світ Makura Kurama сповнений темряви та краси. Власники, гості, сусіди та інші персонажі, які з'являються в антикварній крамниці, страждають від горя, страху чи болю в душі. Костюми та мотиви в готичному стилі, такі як скелети, ляльки, трупи, таксидермія, природні екземпляри та, звичайно, кохання, надають історіям похмуру, фантастичну атмосферу. Але ці історії ніколи не стають невиліковними трагедіями.

Витончена робота Макури Курами та відчуття надії, пошуку світла в темряві завжди привносять в історії спокутальний елемент.

Ця книга є першою художньою збіркою робіт Макури Курами та включає оповідання, комікси та ілюстрації. Навіть ті, хто знає творчість Макури Курами, будуть зачаровані цими історіями, які ніколи не бувають такими розпачливими та болісними, як здається на перший погляд, оскільки закінчуються щастям. Чому б не подзвонити в дзвінок своєрідної антикварної крамниці та переконатися в цьому на власні очі?

Про автора:

Макура Курама – перспективний творець, який миттєво став зіркою після виходу коміксу The Peculiar Antique Shop: Plague Doctor and Mrs. Antlers у Twitter у 2018 році.

Filled with earnest quotes, snarky observations, episode recaps, inspirational mantras, and classic images readers with fond memories of the 1980s classic cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! will use the wit and wisdom found in this affordable and affable volume to launch their own plans toward planetary domination.

Thanks to its multitude of dynamic characters and rich fantasy and science-fiction storytelling, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has resonated with fans for more than thirty years. Skeletor, He-Man's evil nemesis in the show, remains an icon of villainy for generations who grew up hearing his cackle.

Now, for the first time, all of the diabolical wit and wisdom gleaned from Skeletor's unrelenting campaign to wreak havoc on the planet Eternia are collected into one practical, and practically hilarious, volume. This fully authorized, comical, and empowering guide places the evil Skeletor in a variety of troubling scenarios that will be familiar to any reader--from 'Family and Frenemies' to 'Career' and 'Downtime' -- and asks the all-important question: What Would Skeletor Do? Combining words of devilish wisdom with appropriate (or inappropriate!) pictures from the original cartoons, this book lets Skeletor tell you how to handle any awkward situation with aplomb. With tongue planted very firmly in cheek, What Would Skeletor Do? is the perfect inspirational resource for pop-culture aficionados of all ages.
