Design Your Perfect World With Fantasy Art Websites

By Brandie Montgomery


There are many fantasy art websites that offer the most imaginative and beautiful examples of unreal and ethereal masterpieces. It is a genre of work that explores magical themes. The work is based on mythical stories of ancient times as well as legends. Sometimes, the artwork will depict science fiction themes or horror themes. There is however a basic format that is followed as most of the work is a mixture of the real and the surreal.

Today, visual representation of these mythical creatures hints at the legends and stories that they have originated from. These masterpieces depict realistic figures of the witches and fairies and old wizards with enormous magical powers. It has become a creative movement of its own. There is a formula that is followed with artistic renderings of such kinds, particularly when it comes to the idea of the fantastical.

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.

Once the creator has decided on the theme and the mythical legend and the aspect of good over evil it's just a matter of putting it all together. The idea would be there, but some thumbnails need to be created to see how the figures or figure will be placed on the screen. Thumbnails are several small drawings of the basic composition of a piece.

Once the composition has been decided upon, a sketch will be done of the masterpiece and scanned into the program that will digitize the rest of the piece. Color and form is added layer by layer until the final product has been completed. The witch casting a spell on some woeful soul is created.

The idea of dragons holding young and beautiful women captive along with heroes that save them is a running theme. The imagination is not limited to knights in shining armor. They can follow the theme that the women are the ones that save themselves or that magical creatures are indelible owners of the dragons.

Once that has been done and several renderings have been completed, the artist can begin his work. Digitally, it will take colors and pixels and overlay them layer by layer until the work has turned into this robust burst of color and action. When it is loaded onto fantasy art websites, this masterpiece of drama can be viewed and appreciated by millions of people.
