EDITORIAL

This month’s magazine is chock full of brilliant characters and creatures from a host of talented artists. We’re designing alien monsters and fantastical godlike beings, catching up with pro character sculptor Glauco Longhi, and taking a ride through Jonathan Ball’s technicolor world of teddy bears and giant rampaging robots. Something for everybody!

We’ll also be taking a peek at ZBrush sketches by game artist Lance Wilkinson, studying human musculature with Jahirul Amin, and learning some post-production tricks from Omer Messler. On top of that, we’ve got a helping of great inspirational images for you to enjoy. In short, everything you need to get that creative buzz going. Keep on modeling!
