Fantasy Art sites

[Ithildiel Noldoran]

What can I sayQ I'm a huge fantasy and Tolkien art fan! I draw a little myself, I'll admit! :rose: So, if you have any favourite galleries you want to share with everyone-except the wonderful gallery of WotR ;) ...here's the thread to place them!!!!I'll start off with one of the most extensive Toliken-based art galleries I've come across!!! :ring: :legolas:

www.nightrunner.com/gallery/html

And, of course, Elfwood!!

I love fantasy art! My favorite is digital, but those are hard to find sometimes. Here's a few links I like:

http://www.pyeproductions.com/
http://www.amybrownarchive.com/
http://www.josephinewall.co.uk/

More later, I'm sure! :)

I like fantasy IN art, but passionatly dislike anime........most of the art I really like s either elfwood as you said (wellspring of all talent!!) or in the preraphelite section of allposter.com :fine arts

and I draw alot meself :grin: mostly Silm, and I am now illustrating a comic book I hope to subscribe to Marvel for publishing!!

[Nessa the Dancer]

Those are great sites :grin:
I've actually been toying with the idea of having a sticky with good Art sites links all together. Many threads are started like this, then if for a while they are not posted they die and the sites are lost with them.

I think I might sticky this thread, seeing as it's exactly like the kind of thread I was going to do :grin:

If you don't mind Ithildiel I might edit your first post a bit to give a fuller picture of the thread is and can be used for.

[Ithildiel Noldoran]

elfwood as you said (wellspring of all talent!!)

Indeed!! When I found Elfwood, I spent 2 months browsing ALL its galleries, one by one!!! :) But I like Anime...well, some of it anyway!! :legolas: I also found art I'd encountered before and didn't know the artist!! ;)

I also draw, a little, when I have time, but nothing...professional, though people say I'm pretty good! If I find the courage, I might post one of my drawings at some point in the photo forum! :rose:

I think having a thread where many art sites are gathered, for easy access to any who are interested would be a great idea, that's why I started the thread in the first place!! I don't mind at all, Nessa,please, make any changes you think necessary! :ring:

That's a great idea! Topics do tend to get lost, after some time and it is a pity for sites and information to get lost with them!!! Thanks!! ;)

Cool links Ithil!! :thumbs: I've only just recently gotten into fantasy art. There are so many wonderful artists out there. Anyway, I have a link for avatars that utilize some amazing art. Its also a forum too. ;)

[Ithildiel Noldoran]

Great link, Laur!!:thumbs: Is that where you got your avatar?? some really great art there!!!! :cool:

I've got another one: :cool:

www.jonathonart.com

He's got some superb art!!!!!!! :cool:

[Eriu]

Ahhh, I haven't been in here before, the Art section, Ironic, beings I'm an artist myself. Not great-I'm at Elfwood though ^.^ You can find the link in my profile!

I am checking out those sites you guys listed. Bah, Jonathon Earl Bowser is a great artist, the only thing-he bores me at times, same poses, same dresses. It's his style, but still. Bah, maybe I'm stupid. Lets see...Well I"m sure EVERYONE knows Epilogue...

http://www.epilogue.net Now I DO NOT like them, because they have rejected me. Saying I"m not good enough basically. Even though I see unfinished works up there and mine were very detailed. They didn't feel it was up to their measures. :rolleyes: So I'm iffy about them...

http://cpchallenge.com/ These guys are COOL, they help you, and they have some AMAZING works done in colored pencil...and there are all sorts up there, Fantasy and others.

A generally helpful link

http://www.artshow.com/resources/drawing.html

Dangit, there is another site I know of with all the "big" name Fantasy artists, but it's not where it should be. Hum...anyway, theres a few of my "favorites" cept for Epilogue *GRUDGE* :angry:

[Laurelin]

Yes, that is where I got my avvie after the fact. lol
