Fun story from Dinotopia illustrator James Gurney: When National Geographic asked me to paint a small illustration of a Neanderthal father telling a story to his son, the art director emphasized that he should look recognizable, “like a guy who stepped off the subway.” Only the heavy brow ridge should give him away. Where to find a model? I racked my brain for who would fit the part. One guy I knew...
