A multi-reddit of The Imaginary Network


This reddit community is for submitting your favorite pictorial art of characters from Fantasy, Sci-fi or Historical Fiction. For example, armored warriors, powerful wizards, deadly ninjas, intrepid archaeologists, starfighter pilots, badass gunslingers... all are welcome, as long as it's awesome, fantastic and human - or anything even close. Your post might inspire an illustrator, an author or someone's D&D campaign. No photos, please.

No images of mass-market characters, such as Batman, etc., unless they're reimagined or reinterpretations of them.


No AI art

Please credit the artist by their real name and link to source. Please take 5 minutes to use Google Image Search or TinEye

Use the actual title of the artwork: Don't retitle an artist's piece, even if the relation between the title and the piece is unintuitive. Do not create a title for an untitled piece either.

No "Commission" info in titles

No links to collections of wallpapers or a portfolio: Please link to one image, and post a link to the gallery in the comments

Self-submissions: Flair reserved for artists posting their own work (Original Content/'OC'): Click the word 'flair' under your post's title then click 'Self-submission' and Save. Leave a comment about your piece. Warning: Self-promotion without community engagement may result in a ban.

Sci-fi Knight, digital by me

Hi guys it’s been a while. But I’m back. This one was a very spontaneous drawing, one of those moments where you have no clue what you want to draw but you know you just want to. I’m pretty happy with it, and it was me trying out this gouache brush.
