In January, I began an initiative to create a Fantasy Art Gallery comprised of 100% human-made artwork to begin populating a gallery that could be used by DM's and Players to find inspiration and use for their personal, home games.
This month, I ended up commissioning 17 artists (some are still working on finishing up their pieces), for February's collection, who were given the same theme of - "the Underdark".
I LOVED all of the submissions and working with all of the talented artists on this list.
The artists whose pieces are pictured below are:
Illithid Portrait by Jean Rachael
Shadow Dragon by Allan Damaso
Mycanoid Warrior by Elena Barbieri
Chitine by John Ric Detoon
Hook Horror by John Ric Detoon
Beholder by Hector Rodriguez Héctor Rodríguez Antúnez
Kruthik by Dosie
Umber Hulk by William Stuckart
Purple Worm by Alfred Abad
Mycanoid Portrait by Marcos Molina
Duergar by Roninjustu
Mind Flayer by Alicia Varela Martinez
Neolithid by Makaharu
Female Derro by Steven Bell
Mind Flayer Subjugating Drow by Lukas Sanctum
Kilkorn by Beatrice Pelagatti
Lloth Spider Queen by Gaia Cafiso
The permanent website for these is being developed, but until that resource is available, I am going to be keeping the images here for everyone to be able to view and access.
LICENSING NOTE
All image rights are owned by the individual artist and I have licensed these images to be used in a Fantasy Art Gallery that can be used by anyone for their own personal and private games.
They cannot be used commercially, unless you want to contact the artist and discuss licensing independently.
My plan is to do a new round each month and slowly build out a large repository of fantasy art for people to use that will encourage and support human artists vs. AI art. Even though I use AI images for concept work, I still feel very strongly that human artists should be kept in the loop and used/supported, especially for commercial work.
I hope you guys enjoy it, and would love your support (if I don't have it already) to continue bringing you more!
