James Gurney first job as a freelance illustrator was on paperback book covers, where he developed his signature realistic renderings of fantastic scenes, frequently using posed models and hand-made maquettes as references. James Gurney has painted reconstructions of Moche, Kushite, and Etruscan civilizations for more than a dozen National Geographic magazine projects. A number of lost world paintings, including "Dinosaur Parade" and "Waterfall City," were influenced by research into these ancient life scenes. He committed two years to writing and illustrating Dinotopia, with the support of retired publishers Betty and Ian Ballantine: The book A Land Apart from Time, which came out in 1992.
