Armandeo is a Russian artist. His real name is Dmitry Khrapovitsky and because I can't read Russian I have to take a guess here, but from his gallery it's clear he is both an illustrator and concept artist. I had him on my favorites list on Deviant Art for a while now. Why do I like his … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 21: Armandeo

#Art of Fantasy 7: Boris Vallejo
Something different today. Or maybe not so different. I first saw Boris Vallejo's art on the covers of my Tarzan books. I was in my early teens, I think--maybe younger, and those covers sold the books for me. I loved the smooth, clean lines Valejo used in his action scenes. He made it look so … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 7: Boris Vallejo
#Art of Fantasy 6: Adrian Smith
I do not know much about Adrian Smith. I only recently discovered his work after realizing that I've been seeing his art for a number of years without knowing that it was his. It's a mistake I have now remedied. His style is raw and savage and given that he has done numerous illustrations for Games Workshop, it is … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 6: Adrian Smith
