Last week, during a period of intense reflection (and procrastination), I found an amazing artist who perfectly captures the mother-dragon relationship in The Box Of Souls. Her name is Anne Stokes and her art is magical. Here are some of my favorites, each inspiring a story of their own.
These are just a few. Her site (www.annestokes.com) is loaded with faeries, vampires, and other paranormal and fantasy creatures. If her images don't inspire some fantasy writing, I don't know what does.
Are there any artists that inspire your writing? Name them here so I can take a look. I lean towards faeries. I have a load of figurines to prove it.

I love these! I especially like the winter one with the little white dragon. The angle of his body makes him look like he wants to be petted. So cool you found inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how the artist showed an eagerness in the dragon's intentions. Even in the water scene, the dragon is looking for affection. So cool...
DeleteI have inspiration boards on Pinterest for my books and WIPs. I found the visuals very inspiring especially as a whole. I even crafted new scenes for one after I saw my visual board didn't match my actual work. Thanks for sharing this cool art!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of pieces on Pinterest as well. They definitely inspire.
DeleteThose are just beautiful. I love fantasy art. Some of my favorite fairy artists are Garry Walton (http://fineartamerica.com/featured/waterfall-fairies-variant-1-garry-walton.html), Nene Thomas (http://nenethomas.com/), and Josephine Wall (http://www.josephinewall.co.uk/). I'll look you up on Pinterest the next time I'm there. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are SOOOO on my list! I love Nene Thomas. Thanks for sending these artists my way Lori! :-D
DeleteThose are truly beautiful. I especially love the dragon in the egg. Thanks for recommending her website.
