Fantasy World-Building By Mark A. Nelson 2019

Fantasy World-Building by Mark A. Nelson. Great for illustrators, game designers, and creatives.  “When artists and designers create a fictional setting, the milieu must be completely fleshed out, explained, and designed. In this book, comic and gaming art veteran Mark A. Nelson explores and demonstrates his methods for fashioning visually stunning, believable environments for fantasy creatures and characters. Scores of images and step-by-step examples illustrate how variation and experimentation lead to fresh, original designs for otherworldly beings, their environments, and their stories. Nelson discusses how to find ideas and borrow from history to add the strength of realism to a fantasy world. In describing the best ways to establish a habitat, he offers specifics about climate, terrain, flora, and wildlife. He shares insights into founding societies in terms of their means of survival, manner of warfare, spiritual pradices, style of dress, and levels of technology. All visual creatives - illustrators, comic artists, and game designers - who work with imaginative material will take a lively interest in this source of inspiration and practical guidance”.
