I have been a big fan of Dan dos Santos art for a few years. I started noticing his work on the covers of some of my favorite fantasy books. His art has an amazing quality to it. Realistic, yet fantastical at the same time. Not stiff, but dynamic and dramatic. He paints most of his work with traditional mediums, oils and acrylics.
He website has lots of yummy goodies, including some walk-throughs on how he created a few of the book covers. Go there, and spend an hour or two drooling over his lovely work. You won’t be sorry.
Dan’s work spans a variety of genres, including novels, comics and film. He has worked for clients such as Disney, Universal Studios, Boeing Aircraft, Saatchi & Saatchi, Scholastic Books, The Greenwich Workshop, Penguin Books, Random House, Tor books, UpperDeck, Wizards of the Coast, and DC Comics.
