It's interesting how often the same names crop up when asking modern fantasy artists for their influences so the intention here is to show a few that have inspired much of the illustrative art you'll find elsewhere on my site. Seeing how this is just for fun, though, the choice is completely subjective. Use either the links below or above to see what there is so far. I've no idea what the copyright position is with using these pictures like this. If anyone has a problem with it, just drop me an email.
