The Master of Erotic Fantasy Art

The erotic art genre that my own artwork falls into is modern pinup, which I love. I do enjoy some vintage pinup art, but not much. I love Vargas and Elvgren. Most of the others I can take or leave. I prefer modern pinup, and that is what I seem to be best at, creatively, but I must say that erotic fantasy artwork has always been my utmost favorite genre and (in my honest and unwaivering opinion) Luis Royo is with no contest, the Master of Masters. His artwork has caused more emotion inside of me and impacted me more deeply and more often than any other artist. I have probably seen just about everything by every important fantasy artist out there who has been out there for at least 5 years or more. The dainty beauty of Royo women in contrast to the gnarly gruesome beastly men and monsters. The glowing, sparkle of light and water against an overall density and darkness he fills a painting with, seems almost surreal or magical. I cant imagine how that kind of lighting and glow can be accomplished with oil paint, it doesnt seem of this earth. I especially love the "beauty and beast" pieces by him. So, because this blog is pretty much all about sexy creativity, at least, that is my intention, I wanted to give praise to the Master of Erotic and Fantasy art whom I worship and idolize, Luis Royo. Just for showcase purposes and to support my little rave, I would like to display a few images of his artwork here, small ones so as not to weigh down the post. Anyone wishing to see more of his artwork in better quality, one of my favorite places on the internet is imagenetion where they have a very thorough collection. Just scroll to the fantasy section and find his name. With that, please take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking sensuality of some of the art of Luis Royo.
