Ian Miller – Dark Elf
Continuing on with the freaky portraiture I thought I’d start 2010 with a piece I’d earmarked and scanned right back when I first began this blog.
So, I guess some extremely sinister character art from blog favourite Ian Miller, is as good a way as any to kick off a new decade!
This Illustration is scanned from one of the few Fighting Fantasy books I still have in my possession.Fighting Fantasy #F28 ‘Phantoms of Fear’ published by Puffin back in 1987 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantoms_of_Fear.
The game plot revolves around a hopeless near suicide mission (is there any other sort?) battling through a blighted forest and eventually infiltrating a vast demonic fortress.
The adventure takes place in both the physical and dream worlds, but what really makes it stand out are of course Ian’s fantastical warped illustrations. I can’t think anyone else better to illustrate a chaos tainted army of darkness.
If your a fan of Ian’s I definitely recommend checking this rarity out, its available on Amazon for next to nothing: http://ow.ly/WWP2

Always been fond of Fighting Fantasy. Unfortunately i steadily misplaced many of my volumes over the years… Beyond the artwork, did Ian Miller ever write any of those?
Hello Marcos, no Ian didn’t write any of the FF books, though he may well of had some creative input. I believe he has done some writing of his own, and there are some videos of him in his studio on youtube. Check http://www.ian-miller.org/
