I’ll be be the first to to mention Dinotopia The books are marvellous. James Gurney is one of my favourite painters. I implore anyone who cares about art to check out his excellent book Color And Light in which he uses paleo art (and some other fantasy art and landscape stuff) to teach you the art fundamentals of color and light. It’s probably my favourite book in my small art instruction library https://www.amazon.com/Color-Light-Realist-Painter-Gurney/dp/0740797719 Here’s a review showing many pages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCS5PqZcTRc Hedrigall has a new favorite as of 13:49 on Dec 19, 2021 |

Beyond the amazing paleoart the books are filled with such good architecture and scenery porn I love staring into all the paintings of, say, a cozy looking inn by a river at night time, or a warm sanctuary atop a snowy mountain, and imagine what it’s like to be there And he designs all the buildings to accommodate both dinosaurs and humans, so even things like the doors are fascinating to look at James Gurney is an absolute genius I tell you

Some of those kids novels were the first Dinotopia media I read, before I read the actual Gurney books I remember the Lost City having like a super fat Troodon king and all the battles their civilisation had were done in roleplaying so you could just say stuff like “no I have a bigger army and they all fight better than yours” and then you win the battle
