Check out the CONTEST at the end if you would like some free original character designs inspired by The Lord of the Rings Universe.
FANtasy Character Designs is my new side project, something to give me a bit of a break from working on my first fully-illustrated fantasy novel, "Warriors of Virtue".
During this project, I will create original characters inspired by my favourite fantasy universes and I will record my progress with Camtasia.
I love fantasy art, but as a poor young artist I could never afford to purchase more than a print or two, and those $100+ video tutorials… I slaved for days and saved for months just so I could see Drew Struzan paint "Hell Boy". Art is not a necessity, like food and rent, but should it be a privilege of the rich? Aren't the poorest of the artists, the young artists, the ones who need inspiration from art prints and tutorials the most?
I had this brainstorm. My art and tutorials will be affordable for every artist, poor or rich. There are three price tiers to my pyramid:
CONTEST
What if you could get an original character design of your favourite character from the chosen fantasy universe in full-poster-size resolution for free.
Well, you can. It does not require any skills whatsoever other than speed.
Every time I create a character, I will write a blog post about it. When I post the artwork, there will be a link to the blog post. The first person to suggest the next character from the chosen fantasy universe will WIN the finished full-resolution image.
Mili Fay Art Fan Club members receive the email with the link first, but sometimes they forget to check their email, so you may be in luck. Or you can follow my blog. How you end up first is up to you.
I'm using my blog, because it is the one place where everyone is welcome. You do not need Twitter, Facebook, DA, or other social media access.
This is the Blog Post for "Balrog Durin's Bane": milifayart.artofmili.ca/2015/0…
Unfortunately, as I was writing this someone commented on the blog and we have a winner for the next design, but check out how it works , because you may win the next one.
Thanks for reading!
