Interview with Creature Designer & Fantasy Illustrator Brynn Metheney (Part 1) :: ArtCast #96

By Chris Oatley

096_BrynnMetheney_PostArt

Brynn Metheney puts the “dragons” in Dungeons & Dragons.

While many of her animals come from imaginary worlds, they look like they could exist in this one…

In part one of our interview, we talk about Brynn’s childhood in the desert, how her father’s job as an engineer helped her understand creature design, and how she makes her animals feel so real…

Spoiler alert: it does not involve sitting still.

Ejiwa Ebenebe – now a producer on The ArtCast – joins me as co-host.
