Fantasy

Behold The Modern Monstrosity

That’s how Image Comics describe their new full-color series Cry Havoc. “X-Men Legacy writer Simon Spurrier and superstar artist Ryan Kelly present fiends, fragility, and firepower in an all-new series, mixing the hard-boiled militaria of Jarhead with the dark folklore of Pan’s Labyrinth. This is not the tale of a lesbian werewolf who goes to war. Except it kind of is.” Over at the Image web site, Mr. Spurrier continues, “Folklore is saturated with monsters. Centuries ago these wonderful fictions were at the bleeding-edge of the Zeitgeist, but they’ve faded from relevance. Cry Havoc asks what happens when those bright-eyed and bloody-fanged stories force themselves back into the modern limelight. Who resists them, and who gets caught in the middle?” Issue #1 is available now.

There Was A Crooked Man, Who Drew Some Crooked Art…

Nathan “Crookedwolf” Johnson admits that art is not his full-time job (yet?), but he likes to work on commissions as often as possible. “I love painting imaginary things and I like painting them with a combination acrylics, watercolors and pixels,” he says on his web site. “Starting with wall scribblings and school book additions my mind has always been wandering about fantastical places filled with monsters and creatures of all sorts. Illustrations for video games and the art that goes into them has always been my biggest influence. The drawings that Samwise Didier and Mark Gibbons did for Warcraft 2 were among my first obsessions. Many of the artworks done for the Games Workshop tabletop games had a big effect on me and are now also wandering about somewhere in my head.” You’ll find him as Crookedwolf on FurAffinity and Deviantart, also.

Savannah Horrocks is an illustrator of fantasy and furry works that are of a notably spooky nature. She has created both single works and comics, and she’s even been a guest artist on such well-known comics as Prydwen and Peachy Keen. Lately she’s been branching out into creating original creature dolls as well, which you can see displayed at her web site. She has an Etsy store, a Redbubble store, and a Society 6 store as well (whew!), and there you can see her works on pillows, t-shirts, prints, and other such stuff.

He Can’t Not Draw

Or so he says, anyway. “Physically incapable of not drawing.” You might be glad for this when you view the works of Nero O’Reilly with his decidedly modernist graphic arts style. He’s created several short comic-book style pieces with titles like Carnivore Planet, Red Rivers, and Crystal Wizard, as well as plenty of stand-alone art pieces in both color and black and white. Which you can view at this web site, Trumpet Shark. (Fair warning: Some of his works are of a decidedly adults-only nature.) His site also includes his personal store where you can pick up his works in print form, on buttons, or on stickers.

Laura Garabedian is a painter and illustrator who made the decision a few years ago to “go it full time” as an artist. To that end she has developed several signature styles and subjects, including animal shapes assumed by trees and animals decorated with Native American scripts and designs. As well as your “more standard” fantasy settings. (Is there such a thing?) Her Etsy store features several of her works in print form and also painted on ceramic, but her main web page will show you a more complete collection of her work.

Myrtle’s Monsters is the home of one Myrtle Monster (makes sense), a fan who has made a name for herself in a very short time. Since 2013 Myrtle has been creating not only fur-suits but that other so-popular furry art form, personal character art badges. Her personal web site features a full-color gallery of her already-extensive work as well as commission information.

Cynthia Read goes goes by the name of Sparky in Fandom circles, and fannish conventions are where you are quite likely to find her work. “Sparky’s Stitches is my small home-based business, mostly centered around machine embroidery, although I do dabble in other crafts.” Lots of embroidered patches for lots of fannish pursuits in fact — including fantasy, furry, My Little Pony, and more. In fact more recently she has branched out and created a line of My Little Pony themed hoodies. You can see them on her web site, and also see a big selection of her embroidered patches for sale at her Etsy Store.

Flights into Fantasy

Margaret Trauth is an illustrator (and dancer, of all things!) with a stark, often line-less style that relies heavily on color. (This is not at all a bad thing.) At her web site (“Egypt Urnash”) you’ll find not only examples of her illustrations (on prints, t-shirts, and other such goodies) but also full-color comics that she has worked on, including the adults-only title Five Glasses of Absinthe. Some of this is adults-only, some of it is not, but all of it is quite fanciful.

She’s an artist who simply goes by Rozga, and her colorful art works include furry subjects, fantasy, and… odd things. Like the picture below. A full-time artist since 2014, besides her presence on several well-known art sites she also has both an Etsy store and a Society 6 site where her work can be found on t-shirts, phone covers, throw pillows, and other such goodies.
