Re: Fantasy Art

What about Patrick Woodroofe, Roger Dean, Boris Vallejo.

I don't know about anybody else but I would also consider Salvador Dali if I were looking for inspiration (not exactly Fantasy but certainly Fantastic)

Art Gallery

I would never imply that this gallery is among the best on the internet, but it is where I got the artwork for my profile picture. There are gifs and jpegs of the artwork by Julie Bell, Jonothan Bowser, BROM, Ciruelo Cabral, and many others. I only caution you to expect pop-up ads because it appears to be a free domain site.

Re: Fantasy Art

Frank Frazetta. The man defined the genre. Vallejo and the likes cribed most of what they know off him. Here's a link: http://www.wadhome.org/frazetta/

Pretty good, but some weird stuff if you stray down the wrong corridor.
