See all science-fiction related posts on 50 Watts, Science Fiction and fantasy art is an incredibly popular area of illustration, linking , as it does to concept art and game design. And many of you are looking at a lot of this kind of illustration, so here is a great link to some of the current wave of fantasy arts' forebears. I have chosen three personal favourites below but click on the link to iscover a world of amazing images.

CHESLEY-K.-BONESTELL-American--1888-1986
