Creature Mitologiche - Illustrated Manual

This book is a very personal project that gathers, in its almost 300 pages, more than 150 illustrations, accompanied by the description of myths and legends I have studied for years. It describes mythological creatures from almost every ancient culture of the world. 

I have not yet created an English version, it exists only in Italian (so far).

Here you will only find a small amount of the pages that constitute it, plus some of the illustrations.

Technical info:
A5 format, perfect binding and softcover.
Programs used:
Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Figma.
It is divided into different sections depending on the type of creatures (spirits, monsters, hybrids, mages, fairies…).
For each creature there is a full-page illustration, while on the other side lays the description with technical data. 
No one of these creature is invented. They all come from myth and folklore. I tried to gather as many legends as I could, not only considering my European background, but also addressing Asian, African and American tales.
I have also created a Figma prototype of how it would look once adapted digitally.
