Fantasy is one of the most challenging art subjects to create, but Luis Royo is one of the masters who makes the genre come alive. This new fantasy art book by Royo is filled with interesting and imaginative ideas and conceptions expressed through sketches that were inspired by ideas the artist gathered from around his life.
Luis Royo (born 1954) is a Spanish artist, best known for his fantasy illustrations published in numerous art books, magazines, and various other media including book and music CD covers, video games and Tarot cards.
Beginning his career as a furniture designer, he was attracted to the comics industry in the late 1970s, and nine years later turned to art as a full time career. Within a few years, he was publishing art in many magazines as well as providing cover illustrations for a number of publishers.
