From past several years, I have been trying work on a new direction of concept designs, introducing nature inspirations into my hard surface designs. I did all final concept designs looks like inspired by specific creature, maybe a mammal, a reptile, an underwater creature or an insect, but fully made of mechanical parts with some strong functions. Apparently, nature is a master that created everything perfectly and reasonable, they inspired me to build up an unique design philosophy. From these works, you can see the whole process about how I designed my animal mecha by studying chosen creatures' structure, muscle system, and form step by step, then finally turned them into something new and cool. I wish everyone enjoys my fantastic, weird but realistic world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unlisted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53485583008042,"sku":"74871","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/D5E92B5A-DAA5-456C-9407-9B89F8039B0F.jpg?v=1793999999","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/design-from-the-nature-hand-drawing-art-74871","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
