 |
|
Wayne Barlowe has a unique knack for depicting strange creatures.
I bought his book Wayne Barlowe's Guide To Extraterrestrials and
love the way he referrs back to the story his art is inspired from.
I have a Photobucket Gallery of his works from that book.
| Wayne's Website wrote: | | Wayne Barlowe is a world-renowned science fiction and fantasy author and artist who has created images for books, film and galleries and written a novel, a screenplay and a number of art books. After attending Cooper Union he started his career painting hundreds of paperback covers for all of the major publishers and magazine illustrations for LIFE, TIME and NEWSWEEK. He went on to write and illustrate EXPEDITION, BARLOWE???S GUIDE TO EXTRATERRESTRIALS, BARLOWE???S GUIDE TO FANTASY, BARLOWE???S INFERNO, BRUSHFIRE: Illuminations from the Inferno, THE ALIEN LIFE OF WAYNE BARLOWE and AN ALPHABET OF DINOSAURS. His film designs can be seen in BLADE2, GALAXY QUEST, BABYLON 5: Thirdspace, TITAN AE, HELLBOY, HELLBOY 2: The Golden Army, HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKHABAN, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE. AVATAR, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, PARADISE LOST, JOHN CARTER, PACIFIC RIM, RIPD and ALIEN PLANET, a Discovery Channel special based on EXPEDITION for which Barlowe was executive producer aired in 2005. His first novel, GOD???S DEMON, was released by Tor Books in 2007. Currently, he has a major film screenplay in development, and is writing the sequel to his first novel, titled THE HEART OF HELL. |
Here is an interview with Wayne (Click the Pic)
The interview concentrates on his paleographic works.
Yes, Dinosaurs!
As an added bonus I will attempt to link you to the works he depicts in his illustrations.
If not linked to the actual online book, a link to more information on it - Just Click the Pic.
No, Thats too much work. Just enjoy the pics...

continuing...
That's what I have from the book but Mr Barlowe
has many more works to view on his website.
You can also buy his original works but they carry a hefty price tag. |

| Unfortunately he follows the author's descriptions and ignores physics that would make some of the creatures physically unstable or out right impossible. |

| Agreed and he admits that in the book but it is fun to look at what some authors described. My imagination built many of the aliens a bit differently but some were spot on. |
