TASCHEN goes digital! The first book in our groundbreaking new series on
digital culture focuses on beauty and the cutting-edge computer generated female
characters. Whereas most books on digital creation concentrate on technique and
include detailed how-tos, Digital Beauties is all about exploring the artistic
achievements of today's best designers without a lot of complicated technical
jargon. Here you'll discover a host of digital beauties from all around the
world and a dizzying array of styles and techniques - moody black-and-white
nudes, surreal portraits, Lara Croft-style adventure chicks, sleek
ultra-futuristic babes, etc Both 2D and 3D design are covered, so stunningly
lifelike it's hard to believe they're 100% computer generated. In an age of
virtual characters, you'll soon be coming across these characters in the future,
on TV and film; one such example is Steven Stahlberg's lovely Webbie Tookay, the
first virtual model to sign with Elite Digital Models. - Over 100 artists from
all around the world, with biographical and contact information and samples of
their best work - Inspirational approach with stylistic advice for amateur
creators - Stunning graphics.
