Beautiful entry Fifoo.

[Fifoo]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :happy:

 

Keith Parkinson was an American fantasy artist and illustrator influenced by Frank Frazetta and Roger Dean. To be more precise the previous illustration here is a poster called The Druid Stone and one of my favorites.

 

If you're interested by more works take a look at the official Keith Parkinson Online website.

I like Keith Parkinson's works as well, Fifoo! I hope you enjoy this picture of a flaming big dragon.

Nice one, really, as your previous selections. :thumbsup:

 

Have found something very special for you all... The Last Guardian Trailer - Dragonheart theme an E3 trailer of Team ICO from the PS3 game. The Randy Edelman's theme and the clip fit well together in.

Very excellent, Fifoo. It took time to download properly but it was worth waiting for, worth 'replaying'. I am having trouble working out how to upload, link, etc. Utube vids onto these forums.

Some videos are not viewable on other sites - limited authorization by YouTube integration. I left the video in my previous post to get an idea of its content.

Here are a few illustrations created by talented artists, they were used for the covers of the famous illustrated fantasy magazine, HeavyMetal. They represent the Dragons to part of the subject, except the second picture in the middle, but I found it too pretty not to be ignored in my selection. Enjoy it. :wink:

The weapon and armor on the second one would make a great mod

[Fifoo]

Thank you, Pyrosocial. And great idea! :thumbsup:

 

I must confess that I found them quite impressive by their graphic beauty. This is one reason among many why I wanted to add the illustration to this selection.

 

I will go and do some research on the identity of the artist who made this picture, so why not someone to emulate them.

@ Pyrosocial

The artist who created the illustration for the cover's magazine HeavyMetal is James Ryman and the graphics is called Cyberhunter. The artist is particularly known for having greatly contributed to the illustrations for Dungeons&Dragons, Warhammer Online, WarCraft, and Doghouse.

 

Unfortunately, its graphics are copyrighted, and it will ask permission to make a mod for the weapon and armor that interests us.
