Perhaps the most striking and ground-breaking effects the series has produced is the wide range of alien races seen in the series.
Never before has such a diverse selection of aliens ever been seen-some humanoid, some not.
Gone are the days of rubber masks and gloves along with clunky, slapped together costumes and alien torsos.
Today’s science fiction/Star Trek fans expect more and boy does Discovery deliver.
None of Discovery’s astonishing alien races would have been possible save for Alchemy Studios.
In author Joe Nazzaro’s and Titan Books’ new Star Trek The Art Of Glenn Hetrick's Alchemy Studios oversize hardbound book, with its beautiful photo montage cover and stunning interior photos, fans of Star Trek are invited along to discover how the various alien faces, bodies and accessories are created.
The book reveals the magic of prosthetic makeup complete with designer commentaries, behind-the-scenes photos, technical how-tos, hidden mechanisms for movement and how the textures and colors are applied.
The books includes everything from early design sketches and concept art, sculpts, hair and skin application, attire, technical gadgets, ornamentation and more.
It is absolutely fascinating to see how artists conceive characters, guide the designs to completion and the final results as seen on the screen.
What a visual treat with loads of full-color photos, informative text and comments by the designers, artists and production personnel.
New materials, techniques and know-how combine to create some of the most realistic and mesmerizing creatures imaginable.
1 Corinthians 16:13 - Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
