Does anyone know the source of this one? I’d like to cite it but can’t find the original artist. The use of tattoos in fantasy art is interesting and I’d like to learn if this artist has more work in this area.
There is a great gallary of similar links over at JimDeWolf/gothic women.
Here’s a cropped close-up of the cover painting we just finished for our 2010 calendar, published by Workman Publishing. Just think…by the time you can see the full image, we’ll have all had another birthday!

Artist Profile - Greg La Rocue
(From Mr. LaRocque’s Website:)
Greg LaRocque has been a working professional artist for more than 30 years. Starting as an assistant teacher for The Professional Institute of Art in Baltimore, Maryland when he was just 17 years old. After a brief stint in advertising he migrated north to NewYork city to pursue his childhood dream of working in comic books.
He began working for both DC Comics and Marvel in 1980, being one of the 1st artists allowed to work for both of the major comic companies at the same time. He has illustrated almost every major character including Spiderman, The Avengers, Justice League, IronMan and Thor. He received his greatest recognition for his work on Legion of Super Heroes and The Flash.
The latest installment in our Tarot series featured in Heavy Metal Magazine is now on the newsstands! We show three new Tarot cards each issue, and since the four of us are creating the set, one of us gets a break. This month, it was Boris’ turn to just hang out and listen to Rachmaninoff.

This is interesting. First reminder is of Halley Berry as Cat Women. It also starts to pose a question that this Blog will try to answer. That is when does fantasy art become porn? Welcome your comments or thoughts.

Meredith Dillman is an artist I stumbled upon this evening and someone I look forward to following. I’ll try to keep up with her work here. I encourage you to visit her blog directly (see “worth a visit” link to the right).
She Writes about this photo…
Kyrn is a character I began writing and drawing in high school. I was asked to redraw her by someone who had a seen a much older picture. Originally she had dark hair and the white came about once when I decided I really liked a drawing in an unfinished state. Long, long ago, Gargoyles was my first fandom so Kyrn herself had gargoyle wings in one form.
My ideas have changed a lot since then with every painting, and now I associate her with magic, life, growth, change, and ivy. The title this time was surprisingly easy because there wasn’t anything else it could be.
If you’ve read my comic she’s in there a little bit so far.
This set of photos is coming from Boris Vallejo himself and his site: Paint and Brush (also listed to the right under “worth a visit”. When posting this image, Boris and Julie write:
It’s been said that she is THE most influential force in the direction of science fiction/fantasy art today and we would wholeheartedly agree–Irene Gallo of Tor Books has posted an interview with us in her super popular blog The art Department. She is introducing our ongoing and upcoming Tarot card project. Thanks, Irene! Once again, your energy and enthusiasm inspires us!
