Being a fantasy artist opens up a lot of different avenues for expression and one of the best avenues is doing the artwork for fantasy stories and novels.

These works emphasize the magical sense that can be had by a sensitive eye toward fantasy writing. You can evoke a real sense of feeling with the right art techniques.

But not all fantasy is in the Medieval theme. The definition of fantasy means it could happen in any realm and any time period. The next two art works show a transition to a new time period yet still maintain a great fantasy feeling. Can you see how the artist has moved into a new feeling with these works? It is appropriate because the setting is a different time than the previous work.This work is from Andy Polyak's "The Phoenix Ash" The work is copyright© Lagif 2007 and The Phoenix Ash copyright© Andy Polyak.

This is another interesting work that shows a nice use of the contrasting blue and black to make a simple yet compelling scene. This work is from Andy Polyak's "The Phoenix Ash" The work is copyright© Lagif 2007 and The Phoenix Ash copyright© Andy Polyak.
