Designing a captivating creature simply for it to exist against a white background and going further is a purely academic exercise.

With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, developing creatures for Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace and Beowulf, among other projects, she offers valuable advice on how to develop otherworldly beings that are t just stunning in appearance, but also possess qualities that will endear viewers to them, or repulse, if that's the intent. For Whitlatch, there's limit to what can be imagined with an open mind, though the journey may t always be an easy one. It's what she calls chasing the unicorn. We will surely enjoy joining her on her journey, filled with creatures that are so vivid, whimsical, and elaborate that we will wish or wonder if they are real.Product Identifiers
