Welcome to Chimaera, the first creature design course in the Myth Masters program. In this course, we’ll explore how to integrate elements from real animals to create creatures of fantasy that are original, plausible, and iconic. As we forge three custom creations, we’ll delve into the powers of line and shape language, contrast and color theory, anatomy, biology, and personality. By the end of Chimaera, you’ll be overflowing with ideas and ready to build. So dive right in - the primordial water of creation is fine!
