Fantasy art is an art genre that portrays supernatural, mystical, or magical themes, ideas, situations, or creatures. It is as viable a form of art as any other and just like any other genre or art form, it has its own rules and conventions. Fantasy art is an art of depictions of ancient myths and legends, as well as depictions of modern day fantasy in the form of divine interventions and other magical or supernatural forces.
Fantasy art covers everything from whimsical fairies to bulging barbarians to a dragons lair, It is closely tied in with myths, legends and fairy tales and is often influenced by well known “other worlds” such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth and those from role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons. It is a genre of art that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of setting. Fantasy art varies from Greek Gods to Mermaids to different fairy tales and more. Dragons, faeries, wizards, devils and ghouls amongst others inhabit the realms of fantasy. There are different themes of fantasy art; such as Dark fantasy, this is a popular theme for both artists and connoisseurs where individuals can explore their deepest fears, and darkest desires, it really is tough to define dark fantasy art, as almost any typical fantasy subject can be depicted in a ‘dark’ light. Dragon fantasy art accompanied by female warriors or ancient heroes is also an attractive theme for artists as they can create a fantastical legend on canvas. Fantastic fantasy art worlds are filled with creatures, castles, dungeons, dragons, heroes and beautiful maidens, fairies, gods and monsters, all in a style inspired by classic illustrators.
Fantasy Art is all about what the artist can dream up, it is his passion as it allows him the freedom to explore imagery without limits: however, there are no confines of genre, depth, or scope regarding his capability.
