He was featured in 3dtotal's Sketching from the Imagination: Creatures \u0026amp; Monsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on Longque's signature animal inspired mecha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book features 23 of his bio mech designs, with very detailed process from reference study, sketch exploration, and line work to final rendering. \"I did my best to make this book like my note book to represent how I build each concept.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully produced, printed on thick stock, with a Swiss lay flat binding, and a heavy weight dustjacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Introduction:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eFor a very long time, I have been thinking about what great balance I can find out between scientific, rational laws and so much fun visual concept beyond real. Luckily, the curiosity kept pushing me to study the real world when I was a Product Design student, to know the history of how mankind designed artifacts by studying the nature world. Undoubtedly, nature is a master for making laws and life forms, each creature is like a perfect \"machine\" that much complicated than any kind of man-made machine, what if I can mix life forms with hard surface mecha design as much as I can, what such a wonderful journey it sounds like to me. It has been almost 7 years from now I explored my \"Bio-Mecha\" following this rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThis book represents the notes and thoughts about my designing and thinking process, how I meet each creature reference then mix it into my mech design as final direction, unlike those sketches from my first book of DESIGN FROM THE NATURE, not only I just focused on ideation, but also visualized them into finished level with colors and simple environment surround, and more action storytelling added.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unlisted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53485583040810,"sku":"74869","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/B83035BD-FF3E-4F7A-84EA-01CBDF14C798.jpg?v=1794001352","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/design-from-the-nature-digital-art-74869","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
