love them too.
I first noticed Todd Lockwood's illustrations because of the dragons in his Dungeons & Dragons artwork. The color is spectacular & the action and movement of the images is incredible.
I almost feel like I'm in the battle with his characters. You can feel the gritty sand blowing in the air & the movement all around you.
Not only are his dragons extremely detailed, but his humanoid creations are, too. Just look at the long braided hair on the woman in the picture at right. Then there's the man, wearing armor, wielding the sword, with his hair blowing behind him.
Then he has these make-believe characters that are just fascinating!
Here is one of his fairy people. She looks as though she is growing out of the tree, and her hair could be leaves or grasses growing wild...even her clothes seem to be part of the forest.
One of my favorite illustration books, where I got this weeks post, is called Transitions - The Art of Todd Lockwood. (Which I will let anyone borrow if they want) He has so many interesting things, please check out his website.

O.K. I couldn't wait any longer to get back to see this post fast enough. My daughter, son and I love dragons. I grew up with my brothers playing D & D with Dad. So back to the art. Amazing detail! There is a lot detailed layers and texture creating depth in these illustrations. It keeps everything united in the illustration as well unifies all the artwork together. He is consistent in his work.
