Fantasy Wallpaper

JRR Tolkien. The Tolkien legends have spawned whole worlds on all possible narrative formats. A section dedicated to Tolkien could also appear here. Shown here is the fight between Éowyn and the Nazgûl from The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King, illustrated by the Hildebrandt Brothers.



HR Giger - HR Giger has always amazed us with his convoluted illustrations which only he is capable of making. Shown here is a mutation of his lost love Li.



Raymond E. Feist - I happened to find a book written by Feist while I was in hospital and I am almost happy that I ended up so sick such are the captivating stories inside the world of Krondor. Shown above is the cover from the novel The King's Buccaneer illustrated by Geoff Taylor.



William Blake - It looks like William Blake has experienced our modern problems well over 200 years ahead of their time. On a positive note, his output is wonderful and today makes more sense than ever.



Terry Pratchett - His worlds and heroes are always mocked to the max by the author himself, but that's what makes them even more engaging. I can't have enough of his fables. In this illustration, drawn by Paul Kidby is Cohen the Barbarian who wants to return the fire to the Gods in The Last Hero.
