From the award-winning artist, learn to see and shape the world in a way you never before imagined. An award-winning fantasy artist and the creator of Dinotopia, James Gurney instructs and inspires in Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist. Renowned for his uncanny ability to incorporate amazing detail and imagination into stunningly realistic fantasy settings, James Gurney teaches budding artists and fans of fantasy art step-by-step the techniques that won him worldwide critical acclaim. This groundbreaking work examines the practical methods for creating believable pictures of imaginary subjects, such as dinosaurs, ancient Romans, alien creatures, and distant worlds. Beginning with a survey of imaginative paintings from the Renaissance to the golden Age of American illustration, the book then goes on to explain not just techniques like sketching and composition, but also the fundamentals of believable world building including archaeology, architecture, anatomy for creatures and aliens, and fantastic engineering. It concludes with details and valuable advice on careers in fantasy illustration, including video game and film concept art and toy design. More than an instruction book, this is the ultimate reference for fans of science fiction and fantasy illustration. Gurney's Imaginative Realism is a gold mine for artists who want to create images that sing with authority and delight the viewer with rich otherworldly visuals. --Erik Tiemens, concept artist, Star Wars: Episodes II and III Imaginative Realism is an indispensable, flawless reference for vision makers in any discipline to create their own imaginative realms. --Frank M.

My dogs love them and they aren't tearing the toys apart like normal
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Pork Sausage
My dogs love these toys. So far they've actually lasted like they claim longer than the other toys that I have purchased. Like I bought a rabbit toy the same time as these two toys and ropes and the rabbit is completely destroyed and these toys are going strong. Pretty freaking cool
Recommend 10 out of 10
worth the price.

Very strong smell!
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter
Comes with extremely strong rubber smell and I am assuming taste. My dog would hardly even sniff it let alone chew on it. I even soaked it in water and baking soda for an hour and still very strong. Disappointed would not recommend. I will not be getting a scented chew again.

Top notch customer service!
Size: Medium Chew Stick, Style: Peanut Butter
My dog is a bit too much of an aggressive chewer for this particular toy. I reached out to playology regarding this and they are sending me a toy that’s better for her!
