Michael Whelan is no longer here (see sticky)さんのイラストまとめ

Tran Nguyen is another artist I found through my work with Dan on Muddy Colors.

Tran is both a fine artist and illustrator, and I'm mesmerized by all of her work. Her art book Ambedo was one of my favorite gifts last Xmas.

I feel like the covers Tommy Arnold did for Red Rising by Pierce Brown and the Locked Tomb books by Tamsyn Muir were just money. Perfect pairing with the authors.

Some artists just work on the best series.

A highlight of the Rhythm of War book release event for me were Karla Ortiz's brilliant portraits of the Stormlight Heralds Nale and Chanalach.

I love the body language Martina Fačková imbues in the posing of her characters. And, of course, her sparing use of vibrant color against a muted background resonated with me immediately when I first saw her art.

I painted this one in a watercolor technique, all transparent washes. I added some details in at the end in gouache (fingers, toes, claws and facial details)

LUMEN 6.2 (2001)

From an idea I had been carrying around in my head since the late '70s.

Something of the same sense of connection can be found also in works by H. P. Lovecraft and David Lindsay, among others.
