Realms of Fantasy



Realms of Fantasy has been a great outlet for new artists for as long as I can remember . I have a lot of friends who have produced some turning point pieces for the magazine- largely because they gave you the sort of creative freedom that is pretty much extinct nowadays. I've wanted to work for them ever since I became interested in fantasy illustration ,so when Doug Cohen asked me to do a piece for the December Issue- it was a no-brainer. He even wrote a lovely blog post about how he first saw my work:

Unfortunately not long after turning in the art we were sent the sad news that the December Issue was to be the last, and would not make it to paper print. The final issue has been placed on the RoF website for free download here:

Where you can read the story this piece was done for and see the rest of the magazine, including a fantastic piece by David Palumbo and lovely feature on Terese Nielsen.



So long Realms of Fantasy. You will certainly be missed.

  1. It's a great piece, Kristina, and congrats on getting to work with RoF! I was really sad to hear that they ran into trouble again, but hopefully there will be another place for original fiction/art in the future.

  2. Well now that they have been purchased and supposedly publication will continue without interruption, your art will see print.
