Sat here in a hotel in Edinburgh and am looking at images of gladiators for working with the kids so on the image front: what is your favourite artistic representation of a fantasy or sci fi setting/ race or whatever?

Just realised this is Friday - Nik will have a field day with fantasy totty

Which hotel?

I was up in Edinburgh at the start of the week.  MAde the mistake of picking The Point this time.  Shabby dive.

Royal British opposite the Waverley station.

I have been trying so hard to resist this tempation...and have to admit that I have now failed. Utterly. Coolio.  

I've limited myself to six though:













They also kind of convey my response to the 'proper' question too...along with these from Paizo's Pathfinder - which are stunning:











Tell me if you want more...

Always been a huge fan of Iain McCaig



And of course, Frank Frazetta...the man who created the images that have become fantasy cliche...

oooh yeah forgot about Frank 

Hi big M,
            I've always been a fan of Chriss Foss and his spaceships. I really enjoyed his E.E.Smith  "Lensman" covers, especially the refueling trilogy.

How about Hailey from OOTS? 

Anything by Robert Fowke (well, he is my step-dad)

"Bob Fowke was a leading British fantasy artist in the 1970s and 80s. He illustrated paperback covers and record sleeves for many famous writers and musicians including: Robert Heinlein, Angela Carter, Philip K. Dick, Brian Aldiss, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft and Rick Wakeman.

His work from that period is now highly collectable. He recently returned to painting and most of the works shown here are from this more recent period. Some are gouache but most are oil on board or a mixture of oil and acrylic on board. Being based in Shropshire, scenes derived from Shropshire landscape figure frequently in his work."
