If you were to ask me to name my favourite Fantasy artist, I’d probably hum over Raymond Swanland, haw over Michael Whelan, scratch my head about Dave McKean and have Todd Lockwood on the tip of my tongue… but the artist I’d eventually come out with would be Kekai Kotaki. I’ll let the art itself explain.
Kotaki is one of those involved in the Guild Wars franchise, a series a videogames that constantly blows me away with its concept art. I am overjoyed to see Kotaki gaining a wider and wider profile in the book market with every year.
What’s your favourite piece of Kotaki artwork?
I have been following Kekai’s art blog for some time. I really love his art. My favourite one would be the GW2 Guardian art he did http://kekai.blogspot.com/2011/01/gw2-guardian.html
Wow, thanks for posting this. Kotaki is amazing.
Kekai Kotaki is one of the best artists of these days. He is very talented and I love to see his works. One of my top favourites is the cover he made for the Dark Heresy RPG Books, The Black Sepulchre :)
This artwork is amazing!! My favorite is the last photo. Eery yet beautiful at the same time!
