The Illustrator I have chosen to talk about is Justin Sweet. He is a fantasy artist who works mainly with digital. He works as a cover and concept artist. His work has a very loose and painterly style to it, but still manages to be exciting and interesting. Often his paintings will fade away at the sides, and yet are very dramatic and imposing. Other times when needed, he can make very crisp and clear images that fill the page. His illustrations can be very moody, and I think clearly portray emotion through his pieces.
Of course, I also just like how fantastic some of the creatures in his work are. His sketches also are extremely fun to look at, the lights and darks and sense of movement are all still there.
Going through his work, as it gets older, you can see just how much he has progressed. Some of his earlier work is incomparable to more recent works. Many of them look unfinished in comparison. Although the composition and would be dynamic-ness of the piece is there, you can clearly see that he wasn't quite as proficient at using digital as he is now.
