Yoshitaki Amano
>>7734100Why does everyone like Amano so much?
>>7734724is that a serious question? take one look at anything he's ever drawn or painted.
>>7734814Still pissed off Final Fantasy never got a game to look like this.Fucking Akihiko Yoshida got it but not Amano.
>>7726453
Michael Whelan's Dark Tower illustrations fuck pretty hard.
>>7734055I'm not a fan of his artworks, but I do like this one. I had it saved(I think his use of color harmony is really not tasteful)>>7734100I'll post some Amano too.
>>7734822>Still pissed off Final Fantasy never got a game to look like this.>Fucking Akihiko Yoshida got it but not Amano.It simply does not have the same normie appeal. Amano is very "artsy". He's one of those artists for artists. Game companies are not stupid and won't shoot themselves in the foot like that.
what amazes me about Amano, is that he was able to paint these within a week, sometimes in a single day. Very economical procedure.
>>7735240Bonner is too literal, over details everything to the point nothing reads. Just look at that thumbnail and compare it to the Amano ones.Not good.
Miura

>>7735459You've sold me on this artist, anon. I'll look him up.
Wayne Barlow, particularly his Hell work.
Arthur Rackham
>>7736081The only Alice artist I like more than Tenniel.
Of course Frazetta
>>7736081This one is really nice, lovely use of line weight
>>7737009>>7737337I really like his King Arthur work as well.
>>7736081Sexualizing children is cool or what, sicko?
Alan Lee, most well-known for his Tolkien work and concept art on the Lord of the Rings films.

Not sure if this counts as fantasy, since that can be a bit of a vague term.
>>7737773kek'd at filename
>>7737344this is so good
Post more
>>7735389>thing but...japan!Yeah no.
>>7737773what about this would be fantasy? it's also a terrible illustration, where the focus of the image is "le gore", there's no narrative, boring comp. it's also digital.>>7739629>thing japannice rebuttal you fucking retard. >>7737340Rackham never made one bad illustration>>7737772that's my goatI got his artbooks from ebay, they were expensive but worth it, I check them all the time
>>7735454I don't normally like high fantasy but this really works for me.
>>7739690>what about this would be fantasy?Might be the whole 'sacrificing a part of their body for assumed occult reasons', which is pretty fantasy-ish to me. Not enough dudes in armor with codpieces for you?>where the focus of the image is "le gore", there's no narrativeNever heard of dark fantasy? And while sometimes it's cool to have nothing but violence (just like sex), but I disagree that's the case here; the violence is just being used to both set the mood and to further imply the vague story that's being weaved, like what she is making that sacrifice for? Why is her sliced off hand a different colour with gnarled looking fingers?But sure, boil it down to 'le gore', or whatever.>boring comp.>digital.Now you're just desperately clawing for reasons to hate it.Just say you hate it and move on. No reason to give BS excuses.
>>7739690That's great. Any idea who painted it?
>>7741182>dark fantasyNTADark fantasy is my jam.
>>7741324What is this from?
>>7742429Looks like Dark Sun.
>>7741189Early work by Jun Suemi, the artist he mentioned in that post.
>>7743391I'm a huge fan of this rough /int/ style. I like it even more than /adv/ slop.
James Jean
'The Ballad of Lenore' by Horace Vernet
takuhito kusanagi
>>7747046Good god, what is this from?
>>7747213It's from his art book, Innocence.
Terada's Zelda illustrations are amazing. Shame he pretty much only does doodles these days.
this might be one of my favorites from frazetta
>>7752227Based take, one of the artists that actually got worse with age. Now he's stuck trying to be a second rate Kim Jun gi, except Terada actually understands composition.
>>7747046>>7747351he's incredible. Might try to get his artbook , I didn't know he had one.
