Style: Fantasy realistic pictorial style on a textured background
Short description:
"Illustration in a realistic pictorial style, inspired by traditional techniques (acrylic or oil), with natural colours, textured textures and a neutral background reminiscent of antique parchment. The figures are detailed and three-dimensional, with soft lighting and blurred contours, in an intense but restrained fantasy atmosphere."
Key features:
Digital painting technique, imitating acrylic or oil.
Desaturated and natural colours, predominantly browns, beiges, greys, greens and dull reds.
Neutral background, often resembling old paper or worn walls, with visible textures.
Soft shades and realistic atmosphere, but with fantasy subjects.
Gentle lighting, often directional, to give depth.
Rich, but not overly sharp details: each element appears to be “painted”.
