It says to take a feature of an animal and then mush them together, and then do it again... is it saying that I should find multiple animal traits and put them into one animal, or is it asking me to focus on that specific animals strength as it's main strength while fighting? The language isn't really clear...
The idea is that you design two animals, each one by taking an existing animal and combining it with some kind of trait or feature. So for example, long+cat=longcat or fortress+turtle=fortressturtle. You don't strictly have to design two - the prompt is really just a starting point, so the main focus is on designing a creature by combining a trait with an animal, but for those who want to take it farther, they can work towards framing a sort of "battle" between the two.
Thanks, I was a bit confuzzled by the wording.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
