142 Author's Note

This is a picture book containing 634 original characters by Satoshi Matsuura, a game character designer who draws monsters with witty ideas.
After appreciating the author's unique character illustrations, you will learn the principles of imagination that allow you to freely express your imagination.


The first chapter is filled with the author's unique and creative characters: dragons, dinosaurs, monsters, beastmen, demihumans (reptiles, fish, crustaceans, insects, amphibians, birds), humans, villains, demons, undead, and magical creatures.
This amazingly exquisitely crafted creature guide inspires creators just by turning each page.
Author comments are kept to a minimum here.
This is to leave room for the reader's imagination to be added to each character so that it can be completed.
This gives it a strange charm that you never get tired of watching no matter how many times you watch it.


Below is a brief description of the design process and an example that seems to peek into the author's idea notebook.
It reveals the author's know-how and principles of thinking that allow him to uniquely portray even common materials through his own interpretation.
You can see the process of designing your own character with unique combinations, a design that reveals your personality with just a silhouette, a before & after of finding and correcting parts you don't like, and even the author's thoughts and attitude toward character design.
This book will give you the inspiration and hints you need to bring your character design ideas to life, and let you summon your own creatures to your heart's content!
