Disturbed Digital Females

Corrado Vanelli's Brand of Twisted Fantasy Visuals Dazzles Viewers' Eyes

— September 7, 2011 — Art & Design
It appears digital art programs like Corel Painter and Photoshop are attracting all great modern contemporary artists, as individuals like Corrado Vanelli can't help but use such software to churn out these wonderful pieces of fantasy art. I can't complain; I'm actually very grateful for these twisted yet beautiful illustrations of women, which are quickly becoming some of my favorite art finds of the month.

Corrado Vanelli is an Italian artist who works as a mechanical designer by day in order to finance his addiction to artwork. Some of his more risque pieces are actually visually the most spectacular, so I suggest admirers head on over to his personal website and explore with even greater depth the talent that is Vanelli.
