Elephant Anatomy Vol. 2: Prehistoric Studies & Imaginary Concepts

这个由行业资深人士 Terryl Whitlatch 主讲的综合研讨会系列着重于真正的大象及其史前亲属的解剖学和古生物学。Terryl 的深入教学为轻松、权威和可信地设计以大象为灵感的虚构生物提供了必要的坚实基础。专业的概念艺术家和生物设计专业的学生将获得必要的基本和实践知识，以高度的合理性和多功能性描绘动物，并应用这些原则来创建适合娱乐业和科学界的设计。

展示了骨骼、肌肉组织和复杂解剖学的速记版本，Terryl 通过深入讨论塑造了大象家族各种物种的自然历史和进化过程进行了叙述。她的真实知识揭示了现实世界动物的历史和进化如何帮助影响幻想和科幻领域中类似生物的设计。Terryl 涵盖了应用于动画、游戏和电影的现实主义和风格夸张的方法。

第 2 卷侧重于史前大象物种，包括猛犸象和乳齿象。第 2 卷的第二部分深入探讨了以大象为灵感的虚构物种的设计。Terryl 的设计包括 Oliphant、Behemoth、夸张和程式化设计，最后一章介绍了海牛的骨骼和肌肉组织。

完成这两个系列的工作坊后，学生将对大象及其亲属的骨骼和肌肉解剖结构有深入的了解；了解大象家族及其在世界上的地位；从这个基础上，将能够设计出受大象启发的生物，用于各种以娱乐为导向的项目——无论风格或审美如何。

第 1 卷重点介绍了亚洲和非洲大象及其史前亲属。

Title: The Gnomon Workshop – Elephant Anatomy Vol. 2: Prehistoric Studies & Imaginary Concepts

Info:
This comprehensive workshop series by industry veteran Terryl Whitlatch focuses on the anatomy and paleontology of real elephants and their prehistoric relatives. Terryl’s in-depth teachings provide the firm foundation necessary for designing elephant-inspired imaginary creatures with ease, authority, and believability. Professional concept artists and students of creature design will gain the essential and practical knowledge necessary to depict animals with a high degree of plausibility and versatility and to apply these principles to create designs suitable for the Entertainment Industry and Scientific Community.

Skeletal, musculature, and shorthand versions of complex anatomy are demonstrated, and Terryl narrates with an in-depth discussion of the natural history and evolutionary processes that have shaped the various species of the elephant family. Her authentic knowledge reveals how the history and evolution of real-world animals have helped influence the design of similar creatures in the realm of Fantasy and Science-Fiction. Terryl covers both realistic and stylistically exaggerated approaches as they apply to animation, games, and film.

Volume 2 focuses on Prehistoric species of elephants, including the Mammoth and Mastodon. The second portion of Volume 2 dives into the design of imaginary, elephant-inspired species. Terryl’s designs include the Oliphant, Behemoth, Exaggerated and Stylized designs, and a final bonus chapter looks at the skeleton and musculature of a Manatee.

Upon completion of this two-volume workshop series, students will gain a solid understanding of the skeletal and muscular anatomies of elephants and their relatives; knowledge of the elephant family and its place in the world across time; and from this foundation, will be able to design creatures inspired by elephants for a wide variety of entertainment-oriented projects — regardless of style or aesthetic.

Volume 1 focuses on the Asian and African elephants and their prehistoric relatives.
