The most popular reviews in /r/SpecArt:
It's the cover art to a book called 'Rendez-vous à la Grande Porte' by Frederik Pohl, Michel Darroux, and Bernadette Emerich.
Here's where you can buy the book if you're interested.
As for the actual artist, I don't know..
"The Lesson" by Bea Jackson. Illustration for an excerpt of the The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archives, book 1) by Brandon Sanderson featured in Writers of the Future Vol 34.
His name is Michael MacRae and I'm a big fan of his. Working with him on my new project:

He's an up-and-comer who I think will be doing great things, very honored to be working with him.
In 2004, there was an exhibition in Paris about the relationship between these two artists. I was studying there so I had the chance to see it (and yes, it was amazing).There is a very interesting catalog about the expo that you should be able to get. Here is a link about that (in English) : http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/watch-moebius-and-miyazaki-two-of-the-most-imaginative-artists-in-conversation-2004.html
Untranslated title: 扉用 (Tobira-you)
pixiv: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=15520441
The title seems to refer to the keys in his hand.
Note: Image was 6.5MB large but I shrunk the filesize a bit to save you all some time.
The untranslated title is "千の夜と百億の朝の国 (Sen no Yoru to Hyaku Oku no Asa no Kuni)."
I don't know if I got the translation 100% correct. I just used Google, a J-E dictionary and my brain.
The artist's page for this illustration: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=13461444
I used a minus because pixiv doesn't support hotlinking and requires an account to view full images.
Here's a page with more of his work. One of the best artists I've seen in recent times.
There's 3 WH40k paintings from this series, be sure to check them out.
I don't like using imgur for these posts since imgur compresses anything over 1MB.
Pixiv implemented an English language version of their site earlier this year, so registration is simple now.
The best part is that something like that would be possible on Venus, where a habitat with 1 Earth atmosphere would float at a comfortable temperature.
It is. I'm reading it right now (as in, literally, right now). One can find it on Comixology here.
Thanks KCosmo! I also am running a kickstarter to finish the series this photo is from: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/612393946/invasion-photo-series. You can get a copy of this photo, a book of the series and even be in the series! Check it!
Had fun drawing my OC and working with the lighting.
Also really enjoyed drawing this little alien friend—something about it is so cute yet a bit creepy :')
you can see more of this character on my other socials!
Hello hello. Today I bring you one more, recently finished artwork, fresh off the painting canvas. This one I started some time ago and have been working on the side, day on and day off, just whenever I felt like touching it. Took my time with it and it was totally worth it in my opinion.
This is a painting for World of Evros, a personal project where I'm developing a fantasy universe. If you want to know more and get some cool wallpapers head over to my <strong>Patreon</strong> and check it out!
Jurupema, Lady of Moths and Beetles
Concept
Ages ago, in a damp misty forest, an artifact was placed. Something that could never be destroyed by the guardians was then hidden to never be found. To protect it and make sure no one places their thoughts in it, out of moths and beetles Jurupema was created and to her the power and control over them was given. Moths would scout, hide and report to her everything that happened within the forest, and if it were a threat then the beetles would take care of it. This was the pact and mission between her and the insects. Today, what she protects is still unknown and if any shall dare to enter the forest, then in return, Jurupema, Lady of Moths and Beetles shall make them meet their end.
Lore
"There she was. She had the whole forest looking for us. If it weren't for Erskinna we for sure would be gone, wouldn't stand a chance. The treant offered as a way across if we promised never to come back. We took it before he could think twice and whished that we never truly returned."
​
I am also a professional illustrator, with 1 year of work in DnD and other art commissions.
If you want any art commission send me a DM and we can talk about it. Please check my <strong>portfolio</strong> and if you are interested let me know.
Thank you!
In the heart of the Land of Giant Trees, the ruins of Atoroius are the remains of a civilization long gone. The planet Argosta is inhabited by exotic creatures prized by aristocrats and scout ships are deployed to locate animal life forms which are then loaded onto Safari Ships to be sold at exorbitant prices.
These mercenaries are working illegally and the "GOALP" Galactic Organization to Alien Life Protection is working to protect animal species. The penalties for poachers are extremely severe. A famous scout Colt De Vakil, pilot of the vessel The Shimba, is currently being actively sought by "GOALP"agents.

I've never posted here before but I wanted to share it with reddit and a search for the artists name turned this subreddit up.

High in the mountains, where nightmares haunt the edges of your vision, only the bravest of Sentinels dares to travel, like Achilles.
Duncan Halleck's illustration for "All Light in Darkness" by by Amy Henrie Gillett in the #1 new bestseller, Writers of the Future vol 34.
When an on-the-run super-soldier encounters a refuge and her genetically-altered brother, he is forced to choose between his freedom and his humanity.
Cireulo's cover art for Writers of the Future, vol 34. Chances are, if you love dragon art, you've seen more than a few of his pieces!
Author Jody Lyn Nye (known for MythAdventure, several collaborations with Anne McCaffery, Strong Arm Tactics, and numerous other titles) has a short story based off this piece in the book itself:
When an illusionist's kingdom is invaded, he'll pull every trick to protect his land and his queen, even if that means calling in a few favors with the local dragon.
Thanks :D ProWhite is a correction fluid, mostly used for mistakes for hand inking. In edition to that in this piece I used it a lot for snow and breath effects
Sorry for just dumping a link but I'm on mobile
