Fantasy and Sci-Fi art.  It also has a writing section.  Very cool.

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, for you tread on my dreams"

It's nice to see that Elfwood has upped their standards. They were pretty bad a couple of years ago. Course, Elfwood is still not jurored as strictly as epilogue. I'm curious what will happen to sites like these. Currently I foresee an unspoken pecking order developing among art snobs. And in case you are wondering there are always art snobs who do these things. How else do you think art and english lit programs get formed in colleges?

That's the cover of Dragon issue #308.  Its funny, because I happened to be rereading that issue just before coming here (I was making an NPC and I wanted him to have some of the spells from it).

My two favorite artists are Gerald Brom and Wayne Reynolds (both do a lot of DnD art).

I have a lot of my favorite pics saved to my computer, but no links handy.

it works better if you paste http://www.angelfire.com/scary/ark0/images/zeek.gif into your address bar, unless it's been in your cache previously, angelfire posts that little ad thing to prevent outside linkers.
Also, I'm going to remind everyone of my bandwidth hurting that keeps connecitons slow, so if you could post a link instead of the actual picture, that would be helpful.

Haha... one of the more amusing enemies from City of Heroes.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Not quite Art but I rather liked them ... these were taken on a Sony Mavica 2 Mega pixel camera with a telephoto lensl last Wednesday (When I photographed the WWII Memorial... and I rather like them especially the last two.

The First Picture is the steps of the Jefferson Memorial at about 7:15 am taken from the other side of the Tidal Basin

http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v97/maddrjeffe/MVC-006S.jpg

The second taken from the same Vantage point is Arlington house across the river, (more a test of the Telephoto lens than anything else)

http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v97/maddrjeffe/MVC-005S.jpg

I like number 3, the washington monument seen through the Cherry Trees

http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v97/maddrjeffe/MVC-004S.jpg

And number four, proves why the Tidal Basin is serene and beautiful, its a bend in the path thats shaded nicely by willows and Cherry Trees.

Oh and just for grins, Here's Gemm eating a hotdog.
