内容説明
Get Rolling on Your Most Inventive Artwork Ever! What lurks in the shadows of your imagination? This book takes you deep into the dusty corners and dark recesses where your most original ideas lie in wait, showing you how to lure them out into daylight, and shape them into fantastic yet believable concept art. Experimentation is the cornerstone of Fantasy Genesis. A series of dice rolls and corresponding word lists present you with an infinite variety of jumping-off points and visual problems to solve. The challenge (and the fun) is to meld seemingly unrelated and everyday elements such as a caterpillar, seashells, fire or a hammer into exceptionally curious, grotesque, oddly beautiful and totally unexpected creations. 40+ step-by-step mini-demonstrations illustrate basic techniques for drawing a wide range of fantasy elements and forms 3 game variations (complete with game sheets) lead you to create fiercely imaginative objects, creatures and humanoids 3 full-length demonstrations show how to play the game from your first rolls of the die to finished concept drawings Use this art-game as a warm-up, a bulldozer for creative-block or a daily sketching exercise to generate a stockpile of inspired beasties, heroes, costumes, weapons and other never-before-dreamt creations. It all starts with a roll, a word and your imagination.

Incredibly fun

This is one of the more unique instructional art books that I've seen, and it's incredibly fun.
Fantasy Genesis is based on the familiar dice-rolling type of games. Using a series of dice rolls, you'll pick subjects from one the many themed sets, mix and match to come up with your own ideas, creation and drawings.
Here's a quote from the book, "The challenge (and the fun) is to meld seemingly unrelated and everyday elements such as a caterpillar, seashells, fire or a hammer into exceptionally curious, grotesque, oddly beautiful and totally unexpected creations."
There are sets covering animals, vegetation, technical, elemental and mineral subjects. Each set has a few list with keywords to choose from. There are even list for emotions and actions. Basically, countless number of combinations and creations are possible.
Over 40 step by step mini-demonstrations are included to illustrate basic techniques for drawing fantasy elements and forms. The illustrated examples by Chuck Lukacs are not only inspiring but very beautiful as well. They show the potential for really exciting possibilities.
One thing to note is the dice which are not included. The recommended ones are six-sided, four-sided, eight-sided and a twenty-sided. A website is provided where you can find them, at a price I think is relatively high. Or you can try looking at hobby stores for cheaper dice.
This book makes for a marvelous reference on fantasy art. Highly recommended to all fantasy artists.

I want to be like Chuck!

I'm one of those art fans that likes to spend hours in book stores thumbing through material for inspiration. I've finally made it past the phase of drawing geometric shapes and now I'd like to emulate real professionals. Chuck Lukacs is one of the best I've seen and "Fantasy Genesis" is a generous example of how good artists can be. The concept of using a dice game to generate ideas for fantasy art is intriguing, but I was drawn to Mr. Lukacs' style. The book is well-organized and broken down into subjects called "sets." These include plants, trees, machines, materials, facial expressions, and animals, to name a few. The sections also contain mini-lessons on each subject with great tips for bringing fantasy art to life. I kept finding myself wondering, "How does he do that with a pencil?" If I do nothing else in my quest to become an artist other than copy-catting Chuck Lukacs, I will consider myself totally successful. Now I only wish Impact or some other astute publishing company would commission him to create the ultimate "how-to draw" book. If that were to happen I would chuck all my other books and only work with these two. Do yourself a favor and thumb through this book next time you're in a store. You might just be as wowed as I was. Chuck Lukacs for U.S. Fantasy Art Laureate!

Knock your artist's block right off!

I've spent hours in front of a white, eraser smudged page trying to figure out just what I wanted to draw and how I wanted to draw it. Fantasy Genesis not only gives you a game to generate images of the most bizarre hybrids of any number of both living and non-living things, but the instructional aspects of the book help you to get in habits that are absolutely essential for successfull illustrators.
The book is sort of an RPG for artists/illustrators. Dice are rolled signifying animals, vegetation, elements and minerals, and technology. Your rolls give you a list of something from each category to choose from that can then be combined in any way your imagination will allow(usually three or four items together is enough, so things don't get too muddled). The game helps you develop humanoid characters, creatures, weapons, objects, or anything the mind can conjure. There are even rolls for actions and emotions so you can just get drawing instead of trying to come up with what your character will be doing/feeling. You can just get to sketching.
Chuck is a brilliant illustrator by his own right, but has given the world a game that can knock your artist's block right off! If you're stuck, or if you just want a simple daily exercise that will get you sketching things you thought you could never imagine, pick this up. Unleash the essence of creativity.
