Shadowline，就是正负汇聚的地方：光明和黑暗，希望和绝望，善良和邪恶。而对我来说，这就是妙趣横生的地方。从此开始，Iain McCaig开始并完成了他绚烂的作品。McCaig因从事星战前篇的主设计师，并完成角色Amidala女皇和Darth Maul的设计而闻名。另外他的很多其他在动作电影，电视以及视频游戏的作品也广为流传。他还参与了终结者2，Hook，Francis Ford Coppola的电影Dracula，夜访吸血鬼，哈利波特和火焰杯等电影的制作。本书展示了McCaig从业20年多的一系列让人惊叹的概念设计，故事 板，封面插图以及速写稿的一些他的个人作品。“我这些年一直在讲故事，用图画，用文字，用电影和摄影机，以及电脑屏幕。我无法像老师教授数学和历史那样讲 故事，去解释我正在做的正在创造的东西，就像从睡梦中醒来一样。我们都是一直在一天一天的讲故事，甚至那些不从事艺术的人们也同样会有很多梦想。” Iain McCaig

"What isShadowline? It is the place where things meet: light and shadows, hope and despair, good and evil. It is, to me, the most interesting place to hunt for stories." So begins this stunningly realized and beautifully rendered new work from master storyteller and artist Iain McCaig. McCaig is best known for his work as a principal designer on the three Star Wars prequels, including the iconic characters Queen Amidala and Darth Maul, as well as his work on many major motion pictures, television, and video games. His work can be seen in such acclaimed films asTerminator 2,Hook, Francis Ford Coppola'sDracula,Interview with a Vampire, andHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Shadowline presents a stunning portfolio of more than two decades of McCaig's masterful concept designs and storyboards, cover art and illustrations, as well as his private sketchbooks and personal paintings, all woven together within the confines of an engrossing, otherworldly tale."I've been telling stories for years, with paint, with words, with film and video cameras, and pixels on computer screens. I can't explain storytelling the way teachers explain math or history. To explain what I'm doing when I create would be like waking up while still dreaming.

We are all storytellers night after night, for even the most inartistic of us can still dream like masters." -Iain McCaig "Iain McCaig's characters arrive on the page fully formed, their life stories expressed through every beautiful pencil stroke, from the lightest fairy tales to the darkest nightmares." -Doug Chiang, Academy Award-winning designer ofTerminator 2,The Mask,Attack of the Clones, andThe Phantom Menace
