What Our Customers Are Saying
Out of all the books I have have, this is by far my favourite. It has so much good content in it. I use it for my art on a daily basis. It has a lot of references and I am sure people will find a thousand ways to creatively use the hundreds of images in this book. Totally recommend it for tattoos, art or just to collect. It's a jewel, and I'm very happy with it.
Coolest dragons since Game of Thrones. This is a FANTASTIC collection of Renaissance and 17th/18thC drawings of mythological beasts, predominantly dragons, munching, chomping, snarling and toasting various heroes and maidens that get in their way. The fine detail reproduction quality of these prints, all from archival sources, is excellent.
I absolutely adore this book. It’s helped me so much with my art. I’ve always loved things like this and it has exactly what I need in reference of. I high recommend this book for anyone trying to do complex anatomy for character design.
