I think I might get this one,
I think I might get this one, looks great. I've recently gotten into Terryl's work after picking up The Wildlife of Star Wars some months ago. And judging from the quality of these few pages, this one looks like it'll be worth it. Thanks for sharing!
Nice. I love drawing
Nice. I love drawing 'mythological'/fantasy creatures. This would be excellent reference material...
This looks awesome. I always
This looks awesome. I always love looking at/drawing animals.. the more outrageous and fantastical.. the better.
terryl does outstanding work,
terryl does outstanding work, and judging from the voicework on her gnomon dvds, is a really nice and fun person, too. (unfortunately, the knowledge part on her dvds is less than i hoped for) there is a basic believability to her creatures that is far beyond the norm for fantasy creature artists.
this book is going to be interesting :)
