Fantasy Insects (contest)

For this contest, the idea was to produce a piece that was a fantasy insect, something that is not in the real world, but that is made up. There are fantasy artists who have tried their hand at new species.

There are a number of winners for this contest.

There were two first place winners chosen by the Fine Art America community (as well as for second place and third place):

FIRST PLACE (tied)

"Balancing Act" by Hans Neuhart

FIRST PLACE (tied)

"Ascension" by Putterhug Studio

Fantasy Art Portraits II

The Dragon Crown by Richard Hescox

available for sale HERE

Isn't this fantasy art portrait by Richard Hescox unique? A woman with white hair is wearing a crown featuring dragons, while some other dragons are flying in the sky in the background.

If you have been following along, this is a continuation of fantasy art portraits.

To see, and read about what a fantasy art portrait is, go to our first post on the subject, Fantasy Art Portraits I.

Since that first post heavily featured digital art, this post will primarily focus on paintings and drawings.

The next is also by Richard Hescox:
