Designing a captivating creature simply for it to exist against a white background and going no further is a purely academic exercise. Designing a creature that can survive in a world, interact with its own and other species, and go on to make an impact, is designing with intent―the end goal of creature design and what you'll witness in this latest book from industry veteran Terryl Whitlach. With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, developing creatures for Star Wars: Episode 1―The Phantom Menace and Beowulf , among other projects, she offers valuable advice on how to develop otherworldly beings that are not just stunning in appearance, but also possess qualities that will endear viewers to them, or repulse, if that's the intent. For Whitlatch, there's no limit to what can be imagined with an open mind, though the journey may not always be an easy one. It's what she calls "chasing the unicorn." We will surely enjoy joining her on her journey, filled with creatures that are so vivid, whimsical, and elaborate that we will wish―or wonder if―they are real. 特麗爾•惠特拉奇（Terryl Whitlatch）是美國知名插畫師，脊椎動物解剖高級顧問，曾擔任電影《星球大戰》《熊的傳說》等電影中的生物造型設計，具有較高的藝術造詣。 本本書是惠特拉奇2016年全球同步出版的最新力作，通過近千幅彌足珍貴的創作手稿，以及科學嚴謹的生物角色設計解剖圖，詳細介紹了如何借鑒現實動物創造奇幻生物角色的原則與方法。 在美國加州藝術學院及舊金山藝術大學學習插畫后，惠特拉奇受聘為Lucas Art公司的大型游戲《異星搜奇》（The Dig）設計符合解剖學的生物形象，並為世界野生動物基金組織繪制動物插圖。 同時，她還繼續探索設計各種各樣的動物、生物及為娛樂行業設計人物形象，其中包括電影《勇敢者的游戲》（Jumanji）、《龍之心》（Dragon Heart）、《熊的傳說》（Brother Bear）、《貝奧武夫》（Beowulf）及舉世聞名的《星球大戰Ⅰ》（Star War: Episode Ⅰ）。
