Bewitching Female Fantasy Animation

Jeff Simpson Creates Digital Art that Looks Like Paintings

— April 20, 2012 — Art & Design
It's hard to believe that these illustrations by Montreal-based illustrator Jeff Simpson are not paintings. As a colorist and concept artist, Simpson creates drastic artistry effects that comes from a fantasy world where everyday women have monstrous claw hands, double heads and mystical powers.

It feels as if these imaginative females are on a crusade to fight battles in a fantasy world. Simpson's work leans towards gaming and comic illustrations, but these creatively crafted pieces tell a story with art. His integration of subtle and sombre hues intertwining with striking luminous accents creates a mystical appeal.

Mirror-headed females smoking cigarettes and creepy animalistic figures playing with dark magic look almost demonic in a dystopia world where reality and surrealism meet. These Jeff Simpson illustrations takes viewers to a place that's riveting with fantasy.
