I tried to find more information about Ni Yipeng, but I failed. From what I can tell, the artist hails from Shanghai, China, and it seems have done concept designs for game companies. He is also an illustrator and digital artist. Today's post is slightly different to my normal fantasy posts, but then, considering last week's post, … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 42: Ni Yipeng

#Art of Fantasy 17: Allen Williams
On my Facebook timeline Saturday I saw a post by Brom asking people to support a project created by Iain McCaig. The project aims to help fund artist Allen Williams' cancer treatment which involves a tonsilectomy, radiation and chemotherapy, and cost about $50,000.

He also did a variety of other comics … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 11: Simon Bisley

He and Frazetta are the only artists, in my humble opinion, able enough to draw and paint Conan the way Robert E. Howard envisaged the iconic barbarian. Of course, there is also an … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 4: Brom
That Which Takes My Imagination for a Stroll
I love Robert E. Howard's stories. I grew up reading Conan, following his violent and bloody adventures. He is probably the most famous of Howard's creations. I remember how enamored I was with some of the book covers, most notably the ones created by Frank Frazetta. To me, Frazetta was one of only two artists who could truly … Continue reading That Which Takes My Imagination for a Stroll
