Hard to know Japanese dragons from European but I at least know this is from Asia.

Does this count?

>>4852271Anything goes when you put "anything" in the OP
>>4858078Play fair. It isn't anything anything.
I wish there was an artbook collecting these magazine covers from the 80s and 90s, showing the original art with no text. i would buy a book like that in a heartbeat.
>>4859404>>4859408Fuck, I miss graphic design with subdued colour palettes.
>>4828387Just want to say, thank you OP. Thank everyone who has posted and kept this thread alive. I love it.Also, pg 10 bump for more interest.

>>4828387>>4828389>>4828390>>4832537>>4861148>>4870310>>4870315any anons know what the big inspirations were behind retro japanese fantasy art? like specific artists (i only know frazetta), films, games, etc.obviously a lot of it is riffing on 80/90s western media, especially sword-and-sorcery shit, but i wonder if there's anything else to it. this pre-anime art is kino
Does anyone know the name of the artist?He made some covers for a Japanese D&D supplement that are really cool, but I still haven't been able to identify him.
>>4876062>80/90s>pre-animeLOL, LMAO even.
>>4876391pre-anime in the context of fantasy shit, anon. being facetious herei'm talking about japanese fantasy art that came before slayers/record of lodoss war/etc. cemented "anime fantasy" as its own style. more blatant western influence than native anime influence>>4829462>>4858078>>4863209>>4869212i'm looking for the artwork that came prior to this
>>4876165>>4876678Not sure, but I think they are the same artist.
>>4876165>>4876678Noriyoshi Ohrai
>>4876740Thanks anon.This son of a bitch is one of the most prolific I've ever seen, I didn't know him I must have been in a cave my whole life.
>>4876824Tons of game art, book covers, movie posters, this guy really loved working.
Artwork for the 'Altered Beast' game, kind of fantasyNoriyoshi Ohrai
Japanese poster art for 'The Beastmaster' movieNoriyoshi Ohrai

This should have been a D&D thread. Not complaining. Just saying.

>>4883530D&D or classic anime. Fine.
>>4832555Capitalism.
>>4898241I guess it counts as old school.
If this is going to be an anime thread why not call it that?
Okay Mario obviously isn't but are the supporting characters based on old fantasy?
>>4896902Capitalism went wrong? How can we make it go right?
>>4910388Let's not do that here.
I give up.
>>4832555Americans failed to gatekeep its niche interest. Also American were too trusting of its capitalism ideals. Waaa~aay too trusting.
>>4838434Archer girl knda reminds me of Akazukin Chacha.
>>4859402American Incel kind of language.>>Hurrr durrr, its not anything anything. Its specific kind of anything.>>Hurr durr, no,, that is not right. Read the context onions boy.
>>4874897Because its a drawing of a dragon inspired by Classic Western Dragon drawn by a Japanese.American Incels are so stupid sometime.
>>4876536Oh fuck off American Incel. You are being high and mighty about a useless art. Go back to reading your stupid porn comics in the basement.
>>4883530DnD are now owned and regularly raped by LGBT pedo neckbeards. Your favourite things are now /pol/ endangered.
>>4888979>>American Incel proclaiming old stuff as cool.No, they are not. Unfortunately. Anything an A.I like you proclaim are wrong and fictional.
>>4902179Because the American Incels that were posting on this thread are moronic, and a bunch of Incel rotbrained frogposters.
>>4916221I loved this, I was thinking about how textures and traditional methods make Japanese art more interesting to me.It's very common to see very smooth and precise lines and colors today, which isn't necessarily bad, but for me it loses a bit of its charm.
>>4916625I see that, very cool design by the way, thank you I didn't know that.
>>4880498Sick. Any idea what this is from?
>>4918946File name says unknown which is a cool name for a manga or game!
>>4908466>Mario obviously isn'tMario is literally an archetypal hero, on the same tier as Saint George and Perseus.

>>4828387blessed thread. loosely related but it's pretty awesome how a few of the golden age illustrators who were pretty much the basis of fantasy art were at least slightly inspired by eastern art (Mervyn peake lived in china and the castle of ghormenghast has chinese architectural influence, arthur rackham was influenced by japanese woodblock painting, &c.) and in turn the east produced so much kino fantasy art
