Forest Nymph

Gale Franey is a digital artist living in Vancouver, Canada. Shes been creating these visually stunning fairytale works since 2001. Her inspiration behind each piece comes from working extensively with refugees and homeless people. It is from those immensely rich experiences that have shaped her ideas and influenced the art and design, which ranges from fantasy to social complex issues.

Danielle’s Dragon

I’ve been working on this image for the past 4 days. It has taken me more than 50 hours in total, longer than most because I had to build the dragon piece by piece using digital images of iguana, monitor lizard, crocodile, and even some giraffe fur samples for the dappled effect on the wings. The fox is also comprised of many different pieces. I built several different backgrounds and foregrounds until I was finally satisfied with this one. I love building backgrounds and this one is made of at least 40 or more images.
