Product Description

How to Create Fantasy Warriors and Wicked Weapons

Open this book and enter a realm where human warriors coexist with giants, monsters and many other mythical creatures both mundane and magical, all battling for survival.

Four artists who have dared to venture this way before (and won reputations as masters of fantasy illustration) are here to lead you through this wicked world, sharing their fiercest techniques for creating your vilest imaginings. Take up your pen and brush, and follow through 15 step-by-step character demos as well as 39 mini-demos on rendering fearsome armor, swords and other weaponry.

Here's what lies ahead:

  • Archetypal Humanoids. Quite an unusual group, containing such diverse beings as humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes and brutish, foul-smelling orcs.
  • Exotic Humanoids. Two arms, two legs and a head . . . the rest is all up to you. Begin your imaginings here with Medusa, Creagal, hateful Lich, nasty trolls and bitter Iraxus.
  • Creatures. Dragons, gargoyles, ogres, Venusians and Minotaurs . . . embodiments of pure evil found only in the darkest places.
  • Environments. 5 full-spread scenes, from tense to tranquil, feature the native habitats of popular fantasy warriors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Frickin' How to Fantasy Art Book Ever!, November 15, 2008
By Kitty "ii" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book because I have the book Hellbeasts by the artist James Pavelec. I was thoroughly impressed with the explanations and the artwork in Mr. Pavelec's first book. When I received Wreaking Havoc I was equally as impressed and pleased with this new book. Mr. Pavelec and the 3 other artists did a fantastic job explaining their craft. I was very interested to compare their unique styles and techniques. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to create excellent quality fantasy artwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars A shining star for a creative child, January 31, 2009
This book is fantastic. The images in this book are so facinating and bold. My 12 year old daughter picked this book up a couple weeks ago and has not let it down since. She is an avid young artist and is very good at drawing but this book moved her beyond good to amazing. She has not stopped drawing for weeks now and every day she improves, using the techniqes and styles in this book. The artists that worked to create this masterpiece have got to be some of the most talented and gifted artists I have seen in a long time. I hope they make many more to come and so does my daughter.
