The first thing you notice about the French artist Marc Simonetti’s paintings and illustrations are the environments. They’re not just wonderfully painted and atmospheric, they’re huge! Solitary figures are dwarfed by towering structures, cavernous mountains and sprawling epic landcapes. Marc Simonetti is a concept artist, matte painter and professional illustrator with a portfolio of book covers including sci-fi and fantasy legends, H.P. Lovecraft, George R.R. Martin and Terry Pratchett. To view more of Marc Simonetti’s artwork and some really cool video tutorials please visit his homepage at www.marcsimonetti.com
