Fantasy bilder

Jag tror att du och jag sett det här i samma Facebook-grupp nyligen? :)

(Det är förstås omslaget till MERP, också.)
Helt säkert, det lades upp i gruppen för tre dagar sen tror jag 🙂

Ah visste faktiskt inte att det var omslaget till MERP. Då är omslaget till SRR snyggare 😁
 
Hermann Vogel, otrolig illustratör och konstnär sent 1800-tal/tidigt 1900-tal, men har inte hittat var de här bilderna kommer ifrån. Någon som vet mer?

Fick lite Ensamma Vargen-nostalgi!

Hoppas att det kommande EV-rollspelet med DoD23-regler kan ha Chalk (både gammalt och nytt) som huvudillustratör.
Helst endast nya i så fall. Jag är inte så mycket för att återanvända gamla ikoniska illustrationer, de är ofta låsta till en viss tid och stil.

Något annat än vad jag medger jag ursprungligen tänkte för tråden, men det är fantasy bilder och jag vill dela dem. Så här är Disney figurer tolkade genom Warcraft:

Disney meets Warcraft - Snow White by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1723922507593.png
Come on, blame me for zero originality. I had fun XD I love Disney and World of Warcraft, so why not a crossover?
The opening picture for the series is, the first and the classic, Snow White, as a Dwarf from Forjaz. I never liked Snow White, she was too wimpy and teeeeender for my taste. Plus, I haaate the color combinations in her dress. But it was another time, so I can't blame Disney for that.

Even if that wasn't my first choice, in the end I thought being a Dwarf was pretty obvious (And necessary) for Snow White. Plus, the strength that dwarven show makes her look really good, with all those furs and the puffy sleeves, and I love that hairstyle that you can actually wear ingame. If you're a dwarf, of course. I've never been a Dwarf, mostly because I'm Horde and my only weakness in the Alliance are the Night Elves.

And there you have a hammer, Snow White. Use it wisely!

Disney meets Warcraft - Queen Grimhilde by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___queen_grimhilde_by_liberlibelula_d9g35l4-fullview.jpg

Beautiful on the outside, rotten to the core on the inside. I imagine Queen Grimhilde (Snow White) as an undead alchemist woman who'd be capable of anything to gain youth and beauty, including stealing a face that isn't hers and sewing it onto her face. Also, that fixation with Snow White's heart? She probably wanted to eat it. A very undead thing, may I say.

Disney meets Warcraft - Rapunzel by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1723922538276.png
This curious, sweet girl with a wild side had to be a gnome. Gnomes are known for their desire to learn more and more about the world that surrounds them, and also are great engineers and strange, tiny beings (And it feels like a punch in the face when those tiny @//%*ers kill you with a spell or whatever and you can't even see where they came from... luckily, we can now have revenge with our GOBLINS! How does it feel, huh? XDDD)

I know Rapu isn't that platinum blond, but gnomes doesn't have golden hair (Green, pink, light blue, platinum... those they do have). I think she's come out really nice, and she was a lot harder to paint than Snow White. I hope you like her!

Disney meets Warcraft - Aurora by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1723922557775.png
She spent a lot of time sleeping... well, we could say she was in a coma. Probably one step from death. Plus, The Sleeping Beauty has got that gothic look that suits Undead so much. Glowing green lights, dark grey and purple clothing, and that blond hair is one of the colors that you can actually choose in the game for your undead.

Disney meets Warcraft - Maleficent by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___maleficent_by_liberlibelula_d9o0cs7-fullview.jpg

Lots of people wanted her as a Dragon in human aspect and, honestly, that race was the one that suited her best. She probably adopts the shape of a Blood Elf, though her ears are quite tucked inside that headpiece (Maybe that was the real reason why she was so pissed off?). I hope you like her ^^

Disney meets Warcraft - Cinderella by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1723922636269.png
This one required a bit more work, I really hope you like her.
Cinderella never was one of my favourites, however, I think I liked her more as I grew, because she was so persevering and kind, even to those who were cruel with her. And she never stopped dreaming and hoping for better days to come, trying to help everybody without distinction.

That's why I chose the race Draenei for her. If something characterizes draeneis, is their faith and their endless hope, even when things look really bad for them. Plus, they're very associated with crystals. Though here, Cindy has got hooves. Oh the irony XD

I tried to give her an outfit that resembled the original silvery dress (I don't know why she's always portrayed in blue. Really. That dress was white and silver. Anyway). It was difficult, as her dress didn't match very well with WoW and I wanted to show her legs. I'm happy with the final picture ^^

Though Cinderella could be considered a redhead, I gave her draenei a pale blond hair, as that's the closest thing a draenei can have to a light human hair. (Another strange thing... in merchandise she's blonde, while in the movie... maybe my eyes are wrong, but isn't her hair more orange than blond?)

Disney meets Warcraft - Tremaine and Daughters by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___tremaine_and_daughters_by_liberlibelula_d9kewsb-fullview.jpg

So why Drizella and Anastasia are harpies is quite clear XD But who could tame them? Harpies seem to be common among Night Elves (they even strike some resemblance) and Lady Tremaine seemed a good fit for the archetype of the high-class, stern, reserved and mean NE who's been through too much and doesn't care about nothing but her own good anymore. Funny thing is, I never cared much about the Cinderella classic movie until I was older and rewatched it... my god... that Lady Tremaine is EVIL. I guess she's just one of those villains that impact you more when you can understand wickedness better.

Disney meets Warcraft - Kida by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1723922715290.png
At first, I thought she was kinda draenei, but then somebody over here suggested that she would make a great troll, and wow, that was true! Plus, they're my favourite race ^^
Think of it... Trolls had an enormous empire that falled apart in its own decadence, but even now, when they're fighting to preserve their culture and rise again, finding unlikely allies in other strange species, they keep a piece of their ancient power and union with their ancestors and spirits. Just like Atlantean people.
 
The Dark Is Rising är den riktigt bra boken i den serien på fem delar, och lyckas med att på litet utrymme bygga en effektiv mytologi (och använder en underutvecklad setting, landsbygden i Themsen-dalen).

Kom nyligen som radiodrama hos BBC.


Verkar ju svinbra som radioteater. Ska tydligen avlyssnas med 3d hörlurar :) Tack för det tipset!
 
Något annat än vad jag medger jag ursprungligen tänkte för tråden, men det är fantasy bilder och jag vill dela dem. Så här är Disney figurer tolkade genom Warcraft:
Disney meets Warcraft - Anna by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
1724620711770.png
Some opinions in the poll finally convinced me that a Dwarf was the best race choice for Anna. She was stubborn, lively and tougher than she seemed. Also, as somebody said, she "braved the eternal winter just to look for her sister". What's more important to a dwarf than blood and family? Maybe minerals and baby bears, I don't know XD

Disney meets Warcraft - Elsa by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___elsa_by_liberlibelula_d7c3hpd-fullview.jpg

The cold never bothered you anyway, Elsa. But I'm not that sure about plate underwear.
Aaaaanyway, here's Elsa by popular demand! Northrend was her place, and I'm not sure about her race. Maybe some kind of half-highelf, half-human, mixed with a val'kyr? Frost mage? I don't know, Elsa is so cool that she could make a new non-playable race on her own.

And because she looks so pretty in black with a horned tiara *w*

Disney meets Warcraft - Hans by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___hans_by_liberlibelula_d9n63g8-fullview.jpg

Another Disney Villain! I've made you wait for so long, sorry. Finding a race fitting for every villain is more difficult than with the girls, and it's quite hard not to make them all BE (They all tend to have elegance, vanity and a lust for power).

Bur for Hans, I was decided almost from the beginning. The main characteristic in him is deception and two-facedness. He seems an absolute XIX century gentleman, romantic and elegant. But in the end, we discover that he's a terrible beast who won't stop before nothing to get what he wants. No remorse, only determination. Had he not revealed his plan to Anna, nobody would've been able to stop him nor suspect of him until it was too late. Quite rogue-ish, don't you think?
And the brutality. He was going to slice Elsa's head with a sword. Jesus.

So here he is, one of the prettiest undercover worgen in the kingdom. Oh, those sideburns!

Disney meets Warcraft - Tiana by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___tiana_by_liberlibelula_d80g5rs-fullview.jpg

"When I look into your future, it's the green that I see..."
Hard-working, modern, independent and a bit sassy, focused in professional success. That's Tiana, and so are goblins. And look! She's got a pet-murloc!

Disney meets Warcraft - Merida by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___merida_by_liberlibelula_d7y0t6d-fullview.jpg

And heeeere I am again! I chose Dwarven race for Merida because, let's be honest, everything in her screams Dwarf: Her family, her physical appearance, the archery and the bear affinity, and of course, her personality.
Please forgive me if the archery pose is not right. I know nothing about this art T_T

Disney meets Warcraft - Ariel by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
d7oqxeb-64a5f608-21c7-4e19-8a87-07343bf07dff.jpg

Spirited, curious and adventurous (and extremely cute), Ariel was a tough one when it came to choose a race. I mean, naga sounded obvious, but nagas are mostly cruel and evil, and they didn't fit this girl. I watched the movie again, listened to the music, and when I saw again her cave, full of hoarded gadgets and weird stuff and how she craved to know more about everything, the race Gnome seemed the best.

I mean... she's a lot like Rapunzel. So, both are gnomes.

Disney meets Warcraft - Meg by LiberLibelula on DeviantArt
disney_meets_warcraft___meg_by_liberlibelula_d6xb5fq-fullview.jpg

One of my favourite girls.
At first I wanted to draw her as a goblin, as she is so sassy, but... come on. She's a Forsaken. Super skinny, tortured, sarcastic and completely dissapointed with the whole world. Not to mention that stuff with the Underworld and that time she was diving with all the doomed souls. And she died and now is alive again, so she's an Undead!
 
En del av er kommer att känna igen det här som bilden som är omslag till RuneQuest Deluxe Edition (1984), men vad inte alla vet är att modellerna är fantasyförfattarinnan Kate Elliot (kanske mest känd för Crown of Stars-serien?) och hennes man.

Jag har gått igenom tråden från början till slut (det var en angenäm upplevelse), och det som slår mig är hur lite digitala verktyg egentligen tillfört konsten. Allt en dator kan göra kunde människor redan göra bättre.
 
Det finns mycket som går förlorat när man lämnar material (pigment, bindemedel, underlag) och verktyg. Fast å andra sidan, en duktig gör bra saker digitalt som ser lika bra ut … det är mest känslan när man gör och materialets egna uttryck som inte följer med.

Det finns konstnärer som gör väldigt snygga digitala verk. Men nästan alla som är duktiga på digitalt gör ännu finare saker när de ritar för hand.
 
MODERERING

En påminnelse om trådens ämne.

En tråd där vi delar fantasybilder, diskuterar dem om vi vill och kanske kan komma på något om hur fantasy konst, illustrationer och/eller filmer har förändrats genom årtiondena och har för trender, och olika skapares stilar.

Lägg ner deltråden om dator kontra handritat och huruvida ni känner till olika funktioner i digitala verktyg.

Dela coola fantasybilder och snacka om dem. Det är väl inte så svårt, egentligen?

Gillar de nedtonade färgerna och de flummiga bubblorna som kommer ut ur Godzillas sons(?) mun. Polsk poster till Son of Godzilla.

Och ett loppisfynd. Inger Edelfeldts illustrationer tillsammans med det lite pårökta typsnittet är mys.

Måste vara första utgåvan. Andra utgåvan är striden på väderklint av Agnus Mcbride.
 
Tre tolkningar av Robert E. Howards berättelse Rogues in the House (kan inte hitta vad den heter på svenska*) av Frank Frazetta, Barry Windsor Smith respektive Simon Bisley.

Nordmennene lander på Island år 872 av Oscar Wergeland (1844–1910)
View attachment 20187

Litet googling fick mig att inse en sak.

Skeppet ser rätt dumt ut, på viset illustrationer av vikingaskepp ofta gjorde på tiden innan man hade hittat några arkeologiska lämningar, och bara visste att de kallades "långskepp" och ibland "drakskepp".

Den här bilden är från 1877. Bara tre år senare hittades Gokstadskeppet, och man begrep hur vikingaskeppen faktiskt såg ut.
