Fantasy art websites have become extremely popular to the layman who browses the internet. The kind of work that is featured on these sites is completely mythical and unreal pieces that come are inspired by the imagination. The work is based on legends and myths such as dragons, mermaids and fairies. There are a couple of basic ideas that are explored.
Firstly, when undertaking such a piece of work, one needs to choose whether the theme will be based on good or evil. Evil could mingle with good or the piece of work could depict good overcoming evil. Once that has been decided, the creature, fairy or wizard could be created and what it will be based on. Often, beautiful women are used to portray mermaids and witches as well as fairies. Sometimes, they are used to depict warriors and huge muscled men are depicted in similar ways.

If they were going to work artistic pieces that were outside the realm of human possibilities, it would be done perfectly. The best example of surrealism as a movement would be the work that was done by Salvador Dali who created works that were incomprehensible and from his imagination. The work was anatomically correct in its incorrectness. A perfect example would be Dali's Persistence of Memories which features melted clocks over a perfect coastal landscape.
Such work now is very common and available in a digital format. These are works that takes ordinary, everyday items and transforms them into the out of the ordinary, but all of this is done in a super-realistic style. This kind of work transforms ancient myths and legends into a visual form allowing the onlooker to explore in his or her imagination what it might have been like to be there at the time.
So if the artist has decided that he will render a warrior women and a dragon and render a contrast between them, he will probably make the dragon big, red and dangerous. It will have hard scales and huge wings and claws that grasp out towards the woman as she fights him off. She of course will be muscled and strong like a warrior. Her hair will fly in the wind and her garments will be straps and pants that mold to her muscled thighs.
Once the composition has been decided upon, a sketch will be done of the masterpiece and scanned into the program that will digitize the rest of the piece. Color and form is added layer by layer until the final product has been completed. The witch casting a spell on some woeful soul is created.
The dragon guarding his fairy queen breathes his fire. The merman swimming side by side with his mermaid swirls into the background. The fairy sitting on the ground in toe deep moss is holding a butterfly. The colors are beautifully
