Worth Visiting - The Fantasy Art of Linda Bergkvist

Hi Everyone!

As you know, my website Fantasy Art and Portraits presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games, so there's a lot of art out there that doesn't fit there at the moment. I can, however, introduce it to you on this blog.

Today, I'd like to introduce the art of Linda Bergkvist. While this Swedish artist's online galleries (on Epilogue and DeviantART) do not appear to be recently or frequently updated, she can count among her somewhat recent credits working on the "Golden Compass" movie as a conceptual artist. In January 2008, she cited on her website furiae that she was working on masks -- and it's definitely worth a look.

Super Realistic? You Decide! The Fantasy Art of Howard David Johnson.

Hi Everyone!

As you know, my website Fantasy Art and Portraits presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games, so there's a lot of art out there that doesn't fit there at the moment. I can, however, introduce it to you on this blog.

Today, I'd like to introduce the art of Howard David Johnson. His website promotes his art as "super realistic", and key characters in each picture, like this small selection from his "Legendary Women of Antiquity" do receive attention in such details as the contours at the knees (often overlooked in, say, simpler CG art); in addition to excellent detail on arms and armour.
But is it "super-realistic"? Ultimately, you, the viewer will have to decide!

What's Disney Playing? -- Avalanche Software

Hi Everyone!

As you know, my website Fantasy Art and Portraits presently showcases the fantasy art of computer games, so there's a lot of art out there that doesn't fit there at the moment. I can, however, introduce it to you on this blog.

Today, I'd like to introduce the art of Avalanche Software: "Avalanche is a subsidiary of Disney Interactive Studios (DIS), a unit of The Walt Disney Company, focusing on creation of video games based on Disney intellectual properties in addition to the creation of new properties."

They have a gorgeous website, but the blog's where the art action is: "This blog is a vehicle to help keep us creatively fresh and help us sharpen our skills... but mostly for fun."






(Apologies to Emil Degray, but I think the original Sorceress of Greyskull (below) was a lot hotter than this. (-_^)
