Aesthetic Essences #3

Diving through the pools of artistry that laps along the trails of digital landscapes, I’ve come across the following works of art. Appreciate them and admire the aesthetic essences found within.
 
Artist: LucasGraciano
 
Great Fantasy art, wondrous display of technical acumen and compositional depth. Lots of story interwoven within each artwork.
 
Dragon Queen
 

 
I don’t always see dragon’s with regular close-mouthed expressions. Love the theme and story involved in this. Beautiful sky
 
Scars of the Awakened
 

 
My favorite of the bunch; it’s almost two images, with the dragon’s attacking on the right and the woman on the left. The story in this is fun, with a dichotomy of somber relaxation and fiery annihilation merged together. That little octopus guy is cute :3
 
Snow Viking
 

 
I love this for the architecture and how it’s more of an off-white-grey snowy hill. The expression on the viking’s face is awesome!
 
Xenagos’ Scorn
 

 
Very interesting composition with the ethereal god-figure within the middle-ground extending over the tribal dance. Great way to use the shadow to add those stars, invoking the god character to be multi-dimensional. His pose is awesome; wow that face and set of horns is wicked sick.
 
 
Artist: Jaan Paul Eeden
 
Path of Exile concept artist. Awesome armor designs, vey articulate and ingenious
 
Ultimate Chaos Armor and Cloak
 

 
Jaan does a lot of the concept art for Path of Exile, and I had not come across his gallery until now! Glad to see he has a variety of other personal works not related to work for Path of Exile. His contributions to the game has done wonders for the community.
 
Angel of Death
 

 
I really dig the armor, you can see why this guy designs these things for a gaming company lol. Very effective scene with that radiating wave of energy. It’s like wrath of god from dark souls :P
 
Soul of Cinder
 

 
A Dark souls fan, yea buddy. I can see why this guy likes armors so much :P Fashion souls’ is all about those awesome customizable equipments.
 
Abyss Watcher
 

 
I love these little chibi versions of the bosses. You don’t see enough of this, honestly, and it’s great as a way to stretch your skills as an artist and try something different from what you usually focus on. All artist should try multiple styles as they’ll feedback on each other to improve your overall skill.
