Demon & monster art

scourgewarper · Mar 2009

I have a lot of different art books for inspiration ranging from frazetta to vallejo, Brom, John Howe etc however i'd really like an artbook which concentrates mainly on demons/monsters/horror type creatures but don't know where to start.

I recently bought the 4th edition D&D monster manual which is pretty good but just wondering if anyone could recommend anything?

I recommend Paul Bonner, he made lots of fantasy monsters. Might not be what ur looking for but yeh whatever :P I bet you will find something cool, he is amazing.

Ah Carlos Huante i've got some of his books, awesome artist. I really like an artist called Adrian Smith too he does a lot of the warhammer art and the detail is unbelievable highly recommended.

Cheers for posting the link Lampoly, Adrian Smith has an artbook but its proving near impossible to find it over here in the uk, The black library says its sold out and I can only find a few websites in the US selling it. Shame, his art is just mindblowing and he doesn't seem to be that well known either.
