Anyone like fantasy?

Scrab-Meat · #1 12-07-2005, 06:49 AM

Well I need your help for those of u who are into fantasy. You see I have this client who wants me to illustrate a design of a good dragon fighting an evil wizard and I can't seem to find the kind of photo referance material Im looking for. The illustration has to be as follows. The good dragon must be wraped around the evil wizard and the dragon must be gold. Comming from the mouth of the dragon must be a power other than fire, perhaps water since the dragon is good I dunno. As the artist of this latest piece I am doing I also want to make it look very dramatic. Does anyone out there know of a good website or have photo referance that somewhat resembles what I have described?

Thankyou
Scrab-Meat

Have you tried Google Image Search? I came up with tonnes of stuff.

This thread is slightly misleading. I clicked on it all excited. Like a child on Christmas. I was saying to myself "Why, yes. I do like fantasy." And then I get hosed with this garbage. Damn you Scrab-Meat. Damn you to hell.

*coughFINALFANTASYORSPIROTHEDRAGONcough* >_> <_< I hope you got that.

Well you should have a good understanding with atomy and have some kind of imagenation. As for Dragons mouth power, how about mulitply tongues? Or electricity. Prehaps something thunder, or lots of wind and dirt.

Or you could do one oft hose whack really old age dragons, like when the myths started popping up.

I typed "fantasy dragons" into Google and got over 19 million sites listed, with almost every site on the first page mentioning some sort of dragon art. Granted, I didn't actually click on any of them, but I'd say just typing "fantasy dragons" or whatever into google would be your best bet for reference material.

Make a ray of light coming out of his mouth. The evil wizard could have purple lightning or something crazy like that.

There should be lots of nude women in the picture as well, pornography makes anything better.

You have to have some sort of cool setting in the background. Perhaps an evil-looking cave or the roof of a Gormenghast-esque castle.

Nude?

This is fantasy not life drawing my friend!

I type that stuff in google before I posted this topic and it is all the same. I tend to keep my stuff original and different. This design needs to be different because the person who wants it is useing it as a tatoo and he wants the design to give a specific meaning of deception such as not all wizards are good and all that crap.

Sorry about the title I know but I couldn't come up with anything better and I was going to work at the time. Anyway thanks for your help and if you know of any websites with interesting material that is a plus. Believe me I am not completely relying on these forums for my research. I just posted this topic as a part of the gathering of information. Infact I have some interesting subject matter that I came across earlier today. It wasn't a wizard or dragon but the pose was perfect. I have other places of course so its really no big deal.

Maybe you could just explain to this guy that he's a moron and move on. That would probably be easiest. Maybe not all wizards are good. Maybe next time I take a dump I'll think of some guy getting a tattoo of a dragon and a wizard while he's telling people how it's all about deception and "maybe not all wizards are good". That ought to loosen my bowels up nicely.

There is tons of nudity in fantasy art, especially the ones with Dragons. Usally it's the women. If you know an artist named Boris, then you'll understand.

Adriel · #13 12-10-2005, 01:45 PM

Boris? is he an artist?

Oddish · #14 12-11-2005, 05:48 AM

Yeah, Boris Vallejo is an aritst.

Scrab-Meat · #15 12-11-2005, 01:59 PM

Yeah im pretty aware of his work aswell. If I was going to do some sort of nudity I would give it a sci-fi theme. It would have to be women of course and I would make her perhaps half chrome half natural with some sort of Giger like creature about to devour her.

Adriel · #16 12-13-2005, 06:07 AM

Do you have a link to any of his work?

SeaRex · #17 12-13-2005, 10:53 AM

Hey, how about we NOT link to sites with nudey art, kay?

Adriel · #18 12-13-2005, 11:10 AM

Oh, sorry, didn't quite figure that.
