Has Thype been published since this was posted? Been trying to find news about it.

It is the name of character in Barlowe's supposedly "upcoming" book. It has been in making for nearly 30 years...

30 YEARS???? Soooo....what's it about? Any aliens?

From what I've seen, it should be safe to assume it's ALL aliens, at least from a human perspective- If you can find it, Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials has a whole lot of sketches of Thype and the creatures he encounters.

Ah, what a shame I can't get his books here, in Poland! 
Creature looks great.

You can see some of his drawings on-line, like at sketchthesater.com The book does show about 20-25 more images but they're just preview of actual book in work.
Thanks! I have another one in WIP.

ah! I really wish to see thype in it's published form, so few images have been released online! I must know WHAT it is...

Yes, you can see more of Thype works in The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe. Wayne said he is still working on it, it has been in development since 80's. He has couple of other books in progression like 2nd Exepdition, to Belon III and more.

ah, I need to buy 'the alien life of wane barlowe' now... and seriously, a second expedition is being painted and written!? do you know if it will be in the same journal format of the first? and... is Belon III a seperate book, or is that where the new expodition is taking place?
sorry for such questions, I cannot seem to find the information n the internet...

I got the book from Amazon marketsplace. I e-mailed Wayne about Belon III, he didn't say anything about it. From Alien Life, he discussed about upcoming book on Belon III which would be same as Darwin IV except he is co-illustrating with another artist. I'll have to find his name. It's basically new expedition from what I see- there's a preview of it, too.
Nothing on internet about this... He is very private about those information, same as for Thypus. Don't worry about questions, I'm open to good discussion or conversation

hmmm... I don't know if I like the sound of this, the other artist couldn't possibly match barlowe's illustrative skills, it would be like placing a vat of red alge beside a vat of green agle... similar, yet uncompadable...
er, to you not mean THYPE?

Auto-correction kicks in sometime, arrgh. Heh

on the note of alge, i acctualy prefer the red varietey in terms of appearance, but that's just a prefrence...
indeed, studying the wrk of Barlowe, Mike Correrio, Abiogenesis, Moai, and quite a few people from CA.org, I have improved my own style... haha, compare my 2008 work to my current work, there's a massive difference!
and no, we cannot wish to replace him, just as we cannot hope to replace Davinchi, we simply stive to be as good as they are in terms of skill, while developing a unique style that can be recogonised as our own... I'm still not quite there yet.

I had actually guessed you were a Barlowe fan from your other work.

The book is called Thype, "thypus" is a disease!

Thanks for noticing, I had auto-correction software and I guess it kicked in. Heh, appreciate your help!
