Our main focus in issue 56 is the A to Z of fantasy creatures, and we elicit the help of the world’s finest fantasy artists to paint and discuss their favourite beasts and beings – from Aspidochelones to zombies.
This month’s stunning faun cover by Justin Gerard accompanies a breakdown of the art inside, whilst we speak to the Labyrinthine legends Brian and Wendy Froud on their love for faeries, and if you're interested in more unorthodox fantasy creatures we’ve got game art ledge Colin Fix’s sketchbook - zombie fishing anyone?!
There’s also a classic fantasy scene to be made with Svetlin Velinov, the development sheet of ConceptArt.org’s Christian Mac Nevin to be examined, plus 90 minutes of video tuition, 101 animal reference photos, 154 artist’s brushes and loads of trial software on the free DVD.
