Fantasy artists, graphic designers, and art students will value this book's many shortcuts for creating action figures in "off-the-shelf" poses. The author-illustrator team provides templates for more than 50 fantasy types, including wizards, male and female warriors, elves and fairies, giants, pirates, mythical gods, angels and devils, dragons, griffins, ogres, ghouls, goblins, sirens, and many others. Generic templates capture each prototype fantasy figure in a series of action poses that designers can adapt to portray famous characters or invent new ones. Step-by-step instructions cover drawing, tracing, scanning, and painting fantasy figures, as well as scaling them up or down, introducing backgrounds, and using color to evoke different moods. More than 500 vivid illustrations will prove true time savers for artists and designers, and will show budding art students how to give their own illustrations that polished and professional look.

A rowdy crowd of magical storytellers gathersat the bar. Amidst the fun and frolic at Satan's playground, they will amaze and terrify you with supernatural tales. Pull up a chair and listen, but be warned - these tales will haunt your dreams long after last call!Purgatory? Nice place to visit, but ... well, actually it's a pretty lousy place. The upshot is your final destination, assuming you're on the fast track to Heaven. Even then, there's a good chance they'll lose your luggage. For those bound for the other place ... well, these stories may or may not forcibly demonstrate that "crime does not pay" ... but you can't say you weren't warned. Name your poison!The Hellfire Lounge #5 continues the antics of Nick Nussbaum (who also goes by the name of Satan) and head waitress Lucia D'Amore. The weirdest assortment of misfits and malcontents gather at the Hellfire Lounge to raise their glasses and swap tall tales. You'll laugh, you'll cry ... and you may even scream. This is NOT a place where everyone knows your name ... and you may want to keep it that way.

Werewolves rule the night in urban fantasy, but everyone knows there are other were-creatures out there just as dangerous and deadly, if not as common, each with their own issues as they struggle to fit into—or prey upon—society. What about the were-goats? The were-crows and were-wasps? Here are seventeen stories of urban fantasy by today’s leading science fiction and fantasy authors that introduce you to some of those other were-creatures, the ones hiding in the dark background shadows, waiting to bite. Join Seanan McGuire, Ashley McConnell, Susan Jett, Eliora Smith, David B. Coe, April Steenburgh, Gini Koch, Mike Barretta, Elizabeth Kite, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Jean Marie Ward, Katharine Kerr, Sarah Brand, Anneliese Belmond, Faith Hunter, Patricia Bray, and Phyllis Ames as they take you into the hidden corners of our world to see some lesser known were-creatures. You may want to bring along some silver … just in case.
