Design Your Perfect World With Fantasy Art Websites

By Brandie Montgomery


In the age of technology, masterpieces of artworks are available for people at a touch of a button. Fantasy art websites provide such services to people who love to look at such masterpieces. The fantastical, mythical and legendary are subjects that have fascinated man since story tellers told their stories from village to village. Myths of dragons and fairies and witches and wizards; legends of ancient monsters and mythical creatures such as sirens and mermaids is what has captured the imagination of man for eons.

Firstly, when undertaking such a piece of work, one needs to choose whether the theme will be based on good or evil. Evil could mingle with good or the piece of work could depict good overcoming evil. Once that has been decided, the creature, fairy or wizard could be created and what it will be based on. Often, beautiful women are used to portray mermaids and witches as well as fairies. Sometimes, they are used to depict warriors and huge muscled men are depicted in similar ways.

If they were going to work artistic pieces that were outside the realm of human possibilities, it would be done perfectly. The best example of surrealism as a movement would be the work that was done by Salvador Dali who created works that were incomprehensible and from his imagination. The work was anatomically correct in its incorrectness. A perfect example would be Dali's Persistence of Memories which features melted clocks over a perfect coastal landscape.

As an example, think of Dali's famous piece called Persistence of Memories which features melting clocks on a desert, beach-like landscape. This method is very popular when creating works that are unreal and fantastical. Often users are able to download these masterpieces onto their computers for free as wall papers and screen savers. They are either for sale for a small price or they are free of charge.

So if the artist has decided that he will render a warrior women and a dragon and render a contrast between them, he will probably make the dragon big, red and dangerous. It will have hard scales and huge wings and claws that grasp out towards the woman as she fights him off. She of course will be muscled and strong like a warrior. Her hair will fly in the wind and her garments will be straps and pants that mold to her muscled thighs.

Sometimes other legends are explored such as the ones around dragons. Artists explore the possibility of what they would have looked like if they had existed and no dragon is the same. The artist's imagination can make the dragon into a terrifying monster or a magnificent flying creature with colors and unusual features.

In order to achieve this kind of artwork, the artist should first do some thumbnail drawings. This will help the artist to define the subject matter and to work out the composition according to the rules of composition. The composition of the work is extremely important so that it's completely pleasing to the eye.

Other mythical creatures are explored such as mermaids, wizards and fairies that are mostly featured in these masterpieces. The artist has the choice whether to depict the creature as good or evil. This kind of work has become very popular in the 20th century with the advent of surrealism and artists have the scope and acceptance to do any kind of work that they want. Fantasy art websites have grown exponentially with the advent of digital masterpieces. It gives the onlooker a chance to use his or her imagination even if they cannot create these worlds.
