Fairy tale characters such as dragons, fairies, monsters, gnomes
and strange magical creatures have been inspiring people for
centuries. But while in the past, people only ever had their own
idea of the shape of these creatures once hearing stories about
them, today we get to see a huge variety of fantastic creatures in
pictures in movies, books and illustrations, by artists who put
their idea of the character on paper, then bring it to life and
spread it via printing processes, digital or film technology. These
works and characters inspire us and make us create and our own new
creations and creatures.
American airbrush artist Cozmo Colon, for instance, was using a references from the motion picture Venom for his airbrush T-shirt design. Fellow artist Jessie Madera also includes photo references, but she combines them to create her very own horror scenario. Rodrick Fuchs from Canada, on the other hand, is one of the few who can create his own creatures with a drawing pencil. He draws dragons by heart, among other things. As an airbrush artist and custom painter, he uses his drawings as the basis for fantastic illustrations and works of art.
However, one should not forget that fantasy as a genre does not only live from dragons and monsters, but also from strong heroes and beautiful beings. Such a beauty has been created by the Spanish artist Juanjo Baron. Based on a reference photo, he transformed his model into a mysterious fantasy character. Ardy Marjohan from Indonesia, on the other hand, remains completely photorealistic with his The Walking Dead hero portrait and devotes special attention to the skin textures and facial features that contribute to the effect of the character.
Fantastic creatures of all kinds also form the basis of life for American illustrator Ed Beard Jr. In the interview, however, he also talks about times when fantasy was not yet in such demand as an art subject, and how he nevertheless made his way to the top of the game and fantasy industry.
And now, lets get some inspiration from our magazine and the featured artists, and take a trip into the world of fantastic beasts and beauties!
