Terryl Whitlatch - Principles of creature design

About Principles of Creature Design

Join Terryl Whitlatch on a journey filled with creatures so vivid, whimsical and elaborate that we will wish — or wonder — if they are real!

With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, developing creatures for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Beowulf, among other films, Whitlatch offers an abundance of valuable advice throughout the Principles of Creature Design. For the artist, there is no limit to what can be imagined with an open mind, though the journey may not always be an easy one. It is what she calls “chasing the unicorn”.
