Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell

Boris Vallejo is one of my favorite fantasy artists. He creates stunning art works with people and creatures in his own fantasy world. He often uses models to copy the exact body shape and tone to create the most realistic people within his art, he is a master at painting the human body.

Vallejo uses oil paints for his work and sometimes digital material. He has Illustrated for many things such as: album covers, books, gaming, motion picture advertising, posters, cards and calenders. His work is a great inspiration to me as he has created so many different amazing images, with all kinds of maidens, worriers and creatures but all still within the fantasy genre.

Julie Bell is also a fantasy artist and works along side her husband (Boris Vallejo).

Her works are just as amazing. Bell is a body builder and loves the human body, she has created more woman subjects than Vallejo as she finds they relate to her more. I love the way she has created these massive creatures to walk along side the woman in the images, giving a great sense of power. Her illustrations are also very realistic almost like a picture snap shot from another world.

Bell has done illustrations for many things, such as Nike, painting book covers,doing album covers for artists such as Meat Loaf, calenders and posters. She is another great inspire.
