Fantasy art is a genre of art that depicts magical or other supernatural themes, ideas, creatures or settings. While there is some overlap with science fiction, horror and other speculative fiction art, there are unique elements not generally found in other forms of speculative fiction art. Depictions of ancient myths and legends, as well as depictions of modern day fantasy in the form of divine interventions and other magical or supernatural forces, are very common elements, and help distinguish fantasy art from other forms. Dragons, wizards, fairies and other fantastical and mythical creatures are common features in fantasy art.

Fantasy art is strongly linked to fantasy fiction. Indeed fantasy art pieces are often intended to represent specific characters or scenes from works of fantasy literature. Such works created by amateur artists may be called fanart.

There is a large subculture based around the creation of amateur fantasy art. This is largely centred around websites such as Elfwood. Such sites are noticeably less male-dominated than some other pursuits related to the fantasy genre.

Fantasy art should not be confused with the fantastic art genre, which can contain fantastical elements that are not always considered "fantasy" per se.

One of the most exciting sub-genres of fantasy art features the women warrior. Whether they are battling dragons, attacking castles, or fighting as gladiators, these images have fascinated men and women.

The artwork in this category was not made by me, nor was it put together by me. It was submitted by others to be a tribute to the genre. If you have a problem with your artwork being listed among the greats of the genre, just e-mail me and I will remove it. Ask your fans to stop submitting your artwork on other sites. Also, understand that no matter where your artwork is located it can be downloaded or uploaded at will. Even if a site does not offer it for download if it appears in a directory on the web software is available to leech it from any server. There is no way to prevent your images from being downloaded from ANY site or server. The best way to keep this from happening is simply do not upload your artwork to the web. All of the artwork on my site can also be found on photobucket and other file sharing sites, even my own artwork. You should just be glad that someone wants to view your artwork or even bothers to care about it. I'm always glad when people honor me by using my artwork, otherwise I would not upload it to a web server for public view. It's a compliment, accept it.
