Andrew Ley: finished concepts

Andrew Ley is a British concept artist at it's truest. Looking at his designs you can feel his not just merely created visual concepts but more like products that can be purchased in the real world or sometimes in the future. I also like how he present his works in the form of advertisements.

Joao Ruas

Joao Ruas is definitely one intriguing artist. His artworks are quite bizarre and surreal, not the usual stuff you would get here. I find the theme in his stuff to quite dark and almost have a Gothic touch to it.

Hoang Nguyen

I haven't seen that many of Hoang Nguyen's works and there isn't much available on the internet. However these are most of the images I can find. As you can see his depictions of fantasy female characters are just compelling. Also the grunge style backgrounds are really gives the artwork a very aged look. This is definitely Hoang's distinctive style.

Francis Tsai

Francis Tsai's is pretty much a household name in the world of American comics. His rendition of the classic Marvel's comic superheroes like Spiderman and Hulk are just excellent. He has also done work for fantasy card games like Magic: The Gathering which equally deserve the admiration.

Skan Srisuwan

Thai artist Skan Srisuwan has always created some intriguing artworks I've ever seen. The intertwining of human and mechanical designs are mesmerizing, and yet only make sense in a world of fantasy.

Gez Fry

Gez Fry's illustration draws great influence from Japanese pop culture, indefinitely manga and anime. However that would be an unfair statement as I feel his style stands out from the typical cliched anime illustrations. You'll also notice some pieces almost look like old Japanese woodblock prints.

This Month's: Digital Artist issue 06

Since I'm a frequent buyer of art related magazines, I'll do a monthly preview of each of the with anything that I think is interesting. Digital Artist is quite a new magazine that is targeted at artists and designers, so good mix of both concept art and graphic designs. It also features some amazing tutorials by professional artists. This month's issue is pretty good; the manga feature was decent but they should have put in some more manga tutorials with the feature.

ps. I apologies for the blurry pics, I'll try to use a better camera next time.

Emrah Elmasli

I discovered Emrah Elmasli's works through the magazine ImagineFX (issue 11), which was the highlight of the entire magazine. Emrah explore a wide range of themes from science fiction to fantasy art, and unlike most artists who are only good at one or the other, he seems to excel in both. I really like the character designs, especially the robot ones. One of the most notable thing is the Turkish influence in some his illustrations,which is a reflection of the artist's cultural background. I think this element allows him to produce very interesting artworks.
