Creating realistic human characters for imaginary worlds is one of the great challenges for artists and storytellers alike. In this fourth title in the series, veteran storyteller and concept artist Iain McCaig shows you how to build alternate worlds, costumes, and human characters by passing the real world through the looking-glass of the land of story. Following "Volume 1: The Anatomy of a Story," "Volume 2: Cosmic Mermaid Character Design," and "Volume 3: Sea King/Space Witch Character Design," this title tracks McCaig's progress as he creates the two leading human characters in his science fiction adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid."
