Female warrior fantasy art...is a phrase often used,when people talk about some, or other, amazing image of an incredibly beautiful woman, wielding a massive machine gun...or a huge...and often blood-covered...sword.
And more often than not...the image in question, will be one that has been created by the amazing Spanish Fantasy Artist, Luis Royo.
The creative mind and artistic abilities of this man is truly remarkable!
The way he paints his warrior women, and the mood that he can create, is spellbinding, and of course...as with the vintage pin-up art of GIL ELVGREN (CLICK HERE)...just impossible to create with a camera!
Because of their skills with paints, and brushes, painters like these have a tremendous advantage over photographers. They can manipulate color, shadow and light, to create the exact mood that they desire...Cameras cannot do this...not even in the hands of the most skilled photographers.(But...with some additional digital tools...you can get damn close!)
The sea is calm tonight. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in.
from "Dover Beach", a poem by Matthew Arnold

The fantastic and mysterious worlds of Luis Royo, are controlled, and ruled, by EQUALLY fantastic and mysterious women!
Royo's warrior women are young but powerful...delicate but dangerous...loving but vengeful...and always exquisitely beautiful.
They fight vicious and bloody battles, (killing many men, and terrible monsters) and...at the end of it all...often enjoy orgasmic pleasure from the sweet sensations of their victory...
I have never seen an artist as honest, un-intimidated, and straight-forward, as Luis Royo.This is female warrior fantasy art, at its best!
I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple-blossoms fill the air I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
from "I have a Rendezvous with Death", by Alan Seeger
Please note that most of the Luis Royo-Art displayed on my-pin-up-girl.com, depict only sections of much larger oil paintings.(...Royo-fans will know this...) and as far as so called female warrior fantasy art, is concerned:
I suppose that the only way one can really appreciate the full extent of Royo's genius, is to actually see the original works of art!( impossible for many of us...I know...)His 'female warrior fantasy art' is truly spectacular, as is all of his work.
The second best option is to buy the books about the life and art of this fascinating Spaniard.There will be reviews on some of these, at a later stage in the development of my-pin-up-girl.com, and if all goes well, I will add some more amazing female warrior fantasy art to the site...

Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, and other powerful digital imaging software, are amazing (and indispensable) tools for many photographers and digital artists!
And although the rich colors and real textures, of actual oil-based paints, and artist-brushes, will probably remain impossible to simulate with a computer...computer software like Photoshop and tools like WACOM tablets,will become increasingly important to the rest of us, in our quest to create art...digitally...
I cannot paint...have never even tried...so I use Canon camera-equipment, a Sony VAIO laptop,Photoshop CS2, and a WACOM art tablet, to make my pictures...
Yes, the images of wonderful women, and astonishing female warriors, inhabiting strange and mysterious, futuristic worlds, that artists like Luis Royo can create, will always be impressive, and "something else"....that's for sure.
My-pin-up-girl.com will strive to bring you, the visitor, more and more UNIQUE images of beautiful women, (and female warrior fantasy art) in the future.
This site is about EXTRA-ORDINARY Images of Beautiful Women...ALL KINDS!...
