I agree with your perception of the book. The great thing about the Mythographic series is the varying styles of the different artist that contribute. Another book will always be available soon. Never-the-less, ...you're brave. Certain resources used within the coloring book community seem to be sacred. Openly expressing personal dislike of a newly released Mythographic Book feels taboo, although it shouldn't. 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Sending much love your way.

Hi, Kori! This is a parcel of nightmares for me! . I don't really know how to explain, but ... well, this is ... not 'right' somehow. Then there's sooo much detail, so many tiny lines, my eyes were going crazy. I only stuck it to the end because I wanted to have your reaction and not judge it on a few. Also, as a couple of others have said, it definitely has an OTT (over the top) AI feel to it. BTW: it isn't the mythological aspect of it - I used to know all the Greek mythology, and quite a lot of the Nordic, because we covered it in Literature at school, and I remember a lot of it. Stonkingly good to read! I recognise some of these creatures as over-done versions. The multi-eyed dog - a take on Cerberus, the multi-headed animal who guarded the gates of Hades, for example. But this book has just left me feeling (literally) sick. Hope you get your refund!

It looks like a bestiary with the cockatrice, chimera, phoenix, the Greek mythology monsters (I spotted at least 3). I think the three headed bird is meant to be an Ellén Thechend… so they would be vulture heads? Not sure about what they all are, but I kind of like it I think.

Btw, if you haven't gotten the ones from Alessandra Fussi yet, I really recommend you check them out. She has a very lovely style in my opinion. I only have Shangri-La and Dreamweaver of hers, but they have easily become my two favorite Mythographic books, and she is my favorite Mythographic artist for sure now. I love Fabiana Attanasio and Joseph Catembang's work a lot too, but wow, her style just totally speaks to me for some reason.

I don't think I liked enough of the pages for me to justify buying it, since I have to like more than half of them.

I know you didn’t like a lot of the creatures, but the majority (if not all) were creatures based off of mythology. The artist didn’t just make up the creatures. I know you said it was busy and I agree with that, but in terms of the creatures they are based on something else, which if you like that kind of stuff is really cool. For example, the scorpion tail, lion body, and human face is a manticore.
