9. Science Fiction/Fantasy Illustration

Only one’s imagination will set the limits for art created in the fantasy and science fiction illustration markets. There is enormous public interest for science fiction, fantasy, and new-age/spiritual art. Images for book covers, magazines, graphic novels, video and computer games, tarot cards, astrology products, Halloween art, and religious items barely skim the surface of the demand in this ever-growing emporium of visual needs. For the artist who has a personal interest in any of these areas, an awareness of the trends and styles of the market will help make a successful career in this genre a reality.
