The Hero Challenge is a monthly creation prompt where one hand-selected industry professional provides a general theme to draw!
Terryl Whitlatch grew up in a family where art and science was rampant, as well as an animal ark that included everything from iguanas to horses.
Specializing in animal anatomy, paleontological reconstruction, and wildlife illustration, Terryl has also spent over three decades designing creatures for the film and animation industry, including Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, and Walt Disney Feature Animation. She was also the principal creature designer for Star Wars: the Phantom Menace.
Terryl is also the author and Illustrator of three books—The Wildlife of Star Wars, The Katurran Odyssey, and Animals Real & Imagined, with two more, Principles of Creature Design (to be released early 2015), and Bestiary—the Natural History of Mythical Creatures (late 2015). As an educator, she has created the online creature design course, Tales of Amalthea, and is also an instructor for Schoolism.
