Friday Art Attack

Wow, it's already time for another one of these?  Where does the time go?  By coincidence, I seem to have fewer fantasy and more space opera images today.  But not tso much that if you're a fan of one but not the other you're out of luck.


A medusa pirate queen and dinosaur riders in the jungle.  There is literally nothing not to love about this entire image.  Plus, that weird energy cannon or whatever it is that they're about the fire at the T. rex.


The Jabberwocky.



It was always disappointing to me how bizarrely stupid and hippyish James Gurney's Dinotopia was.  But the images are top notch.


Have I mentioned before that I seem to really like undead dragons?

Or savage, ghoul-like vampires that are less urbane and stylish and more brutal and savage?


It's too bad that 1313 never got made.  Maybe we'll get the Boba Fett and the Bounty Hunters space western that the Star Wars series once promised implicitly.  Maybe—if we're really lucky—the new Solo movie will be that movie.  I doubt it, though.


I don't know why John Carter looks like a teenaged kid here, but here he is on a leaf boat with Tars Tarkas poling past plant men.


Some John Howe Silmarillion images.  This is from the fall of Gondolin.


A more traditional take on Morgoth and Ungoliant than last weeks' image.


And the Middle-earth "god" of the sea, Ulmo, looking very Neptunian.


Jandar of Callisto, Lin Carter's best fake John Carter.

I don't know what this is, but I sure wouldn't want to run into one on a dark night in the woods.


RAWR!  This looks almost like it could be Tarzan and Jane, but I don't know what story it would be from if so.  But I admit that I never read all 24 of the books.


It's worth reminding myself that I'm essentially an anti-urbanite southerner at heart.  Part of the reason that in all of my settings every city is some kind of "wretched hive of scum and villainy" is because I think city-folks are wretched scum and villains, for the most part.

Sorry not sorry if you're a city guy yourself.


A girl and her snow gorilla.  Lolwut?  Cool image though.

Watch out, buddy!  Oh, well.  We can always hire more cohorts to paddle our boats.
This guy, on the other hand, has more of a PCish vibe to him.
