Gonzalo Ordóñez Arias

Gonzalo Ordóñez Arias also known by his nickname Genzoman is a Chilean freelance artist who infused manga and western illustration style together. The majority of his work are historicly famous people, characters and creatures from varied cultures mythological and biblical legends, but over time his work and imagination have expanded to games, cd covers, movies and anime. Genzoman's work is also found in his first published book with nearly all the mythological and bibical characters with a background story on each page.

I have been a fan of his work for awhile and really like he uses the manga-style to make the characters and creatures. He really got a good idea of how they would look in his imagination. Made some fan arts of game and comic book characters.

Raymond Swanland

Raymond Swanland is an digital artist who focus mainly on science fiction and fantasy theme illustration. His most notable creative artworks are mythological creatures, characters and robots for many part-time careers over the years. His style of art are something that shows a different world from someone's imagination and symbolism for his desire to express his art to others. After he reached adulthood, Raymond went into a career of creating artwork for novels, video games, comic books, tattors, CDs and movies.

He believes that everyone is entitled to their own ideas and imagination as a commodity. Creating art as storytelling and worked on video games such as Oddworld Inhabitants along with many of his work. Over the years he now had the ideal of changing the world of art to reach a large number of people through borders and social classes by telling stories through films.

Above and Below: Two examples of his work are among many of his illustrations are found in the trading card game called Magic: The Gathering, working alongside with many illustrators to create what they can imagine for new trading card.

Veronica Lawlor

Lawlor has also drawn sketches of models when travelling across the US drawing icons of America for studios and companies, even in other countries for her journalism in magazines to show her work in advertising. Her work can be found in many art museums like the National Council for Social Studios, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Puck Gallery, Gallery 12482 and exhibited in Washington

Veronica Lawlor shows a talant of creating illustrations with primary and secondary colours with the line drawn portraits, close to being pop art by the colours. Her skills in art are interesting to sketch buildings such as new york and add colours to make them appear bright. I find the use of colours in this illustration work well for the lights and adverts, even though it left most of the buildings and people blank.

This clearly tells what is happening in the middle east by the illustration around the detailed map of the countries with brownish watercolour paints

Another example of his work in same use of media but in a different illustration of another country. He does show some work on the maps of the location possibly by looking at other maps to know the specific details and photos of the country to draw with the map.

This is one of Adams' illustration called "Le prince et I'hirondelle", english meaning "Prince of the Swallow" and shows some work of the painting over a rough background by the patterns visible on through the blue sky, the corners and far edges show how the paint seem to fade. The bird in this is well made and good shadings beneath the wings and side of it's body.
