"Right when I saw this book I knew I needed to have it. However, due to personal experience I am weary about buying used books without feeling them first. But, like I said I NEEDED this book and like the impatient person I am I took the risk against my better judgment.
I'm Glad I did.
Not only did the book arrive way before I expected it to but the condition it came it was astonishing. Not only was it wrapped like it was a plate of gold but the book itself was in practically new condition. In fact, they could have put down that the book was new and I would have believed it.
I absolutely wish I lived in California as I would take a trip and visit them in person to tell them how much I loved everything. I was hoping beyond hope that they were somewhere in my state so I could do so!
And, not only that. But when I opened my book and glanced at my receipt, in the corner was a hand penned note that she hoped I was happy with my book. You have no idea!
If I can give you any advice, if you ever order a used book online do so from these people. You will not be disappointed!
As for the book itself it is a beautiful artist reference for creatures both real and imagined. Go figure. It is chocked full of colored/completed designs along with unfinished sketches detailing real animals, estranged creatures with cartoons/caricatures scattered here and there. I personally will be using it for reference and inspiration for my novels. But for artist I think it is in the 'must have' category. It is far from being extremely professional but it is beautifully defined and gives plenty of musculature and skeletal structures for all kinds of creatures -even humans. If you like imaginative bestiaries/reference books then give this one a once-over!"

Animals Real and Imagined Fantasy of What Is and What Might Be Gilbert Banducci Terryl Whitlatch 9781933492926 Books Reviews
- This book made my face light up. Packed in this 160-page book is a collection of new artwork from Terryl Whitlatch. You won't see any of her Star Wars creatures that appeared in The Wildlife of Star Wars - you should probably get that book as well.
The gallery consist of paintings and sketches of real and imagined animals. The designs for the imaginative creatures are beautiful and believable. There are sea, land and flying creatures. Great variety.
Many sketches are included, some picked from her art classes. For selected creatures, they are so detailed separate drawings on the muscular anatomy and bone structure are included. Scribbled on the sketches are labels and notes, though a bit small but only because there's so much packed onto the page.
Besides creature concept art, there are also stylized character designs. Rocket rhinos, psychotic pandas, comical cerberus, cupid frogs are just some of the many animated ideas. They are really fun to look at.
This isn't an instructional book so there aren't pointers on how to draw, but you can get lots of ideas or understand what's possible just by looking at the drawings.
This inspiring book is highly recommended to anyone who loves animal art.

If you like imaginative bestiaries/reference books then give this one a once-over! - I've always been into the idea of mixing the features of difference animals to see what you get, so this is basically a whole book full of it. It starts off with some of Terryl's paintings of real creatures, then progresses more and more into her own creations. For the most part, the creatures are prehistoric in nature, but there are a few modern-day beasts represented. There are even some that are just straight up fantasy creatures. The last section of the book covers some of her animated characters and that's not really my cup o' tea. It's my only knock on the book. It seems out of place. If you're looking for background info on why she mixed this animal with that or whatever, you won't get it. And who cares, really? I don't need to know why she put ram horns on a gorilla, it just looks cool. I wish I had the hardback version because of the "widescreen" format of the book, but it is still an extremely high quality book. In fact, I would say it's one of the best printing jobs I've ever seen in an art book. The whites of the pages have a sort of matte finish to them, while the images themselves are printed glossy. It's hard to describe, but it looks excellent. it makes the images really pop off the page. I highly recommend this for anyone into dinosaurs and creature design.
