Welcome to the Fantasy Artist disc! This issueΓÇÖs fantastic contents will help you create amazing digital paintings as well as many other kinds of fantasy and steampunk illustration.

We start with 20 minutes of video tuition from videogames concept artist, Matt Kohr, where you'll learn how to work up several different versions of the same character using Photoshop.

Next up we have an abundance of stock images from Fotolia which are perfect assets for your matte paintings and mythical creature creations.

Elsewhere, you can create your best steampunk-inspired art thanks to 17 reference photos from photographer Gretchen Byers. We also have skulls and scrolls vector graphics, 25 rustic textures , two premium sets of Photoshop brushes and three 3D robot models!

Don't forget to check out the included tutorial files for you to follow along with the magazine as well as our gallery of images created by Fantasy Artist followers.

Enjoy the disc!
