You will learn the most important keys in the design of creatures such as hydra, demonic beings, gods, werewolves and zombies”

With the unstoppable advance of animation techniques, as well as the growing interest in more and more fantasy and horror stories, it is not surprising that design departments have more and more assignments related to otherworldly beings. With such a wide range of creatures and monsters of all kinds, it is understandable that designers would want to specialize in the creation of these beasts.

For this reason TECH has assembled a teaching team with extensive experience in the creation of both horror and fantasy characters, creating exhaustive and thorough teaching material that reviews, creature by creature, all the most important physiological and expressive aspects. Through real practical cases and detailed videos, the designer will efficiently deepen their knowledge of Design and Creation of 2D Fantasy and Horror Characters.
