Fantasy of Color

This blog is a collection of art, photos and stories of people of color in fantasy, urban fantasy, and steampunk settings. We're also working to build up a list of book and comic recommendations, as well as links to resources for our followers, whether or not you are an artist or writer. We are always open to questions of any sort. If you wish to submit something to us, or have a rec to share, you can use the ask or submit button on the left. We also track the tag #fantasyofcolor (though please keep in mind that tags will not track unless they are in the first five tags and were on the post when it was first created.) Thank you!. We occasionally post pictures with nudity or violence. All such posts will be tagged #nsfw

This started out with me just wanting to sketch a lace dress and then poof levitating witch making either the sickest pumpkin pie you’ve ever eaten or some poisonous concoction. Or both.

The Black Witch Chronicles is an absolutely breathtaking photo essay from photographer Fabiola Jean-Louis that features 

“In a society where the images and voices of Black womyn over the age of 40 are rarely seen or heard, we are here to reflect the wisdom, joy, and vision that our community embodies. We communicate from our collective wisdom as mothers, healers, artists, visionaries, and change makers connected to the ongoing story that sings to us from our ancestral roots.”

I haven’t drawn properly for a while, so I made these for warm-up/practice. A lot of Saffans~

She is mine.

first off before i ask, your art is /so/ aesthetically pleasing it's unreal! and my question is, do you do zodiac characters? like a zodiac based character? (pls yes)

Thank you so much! ;w;

I did two zodiacs. Taurus and Pisces I tried doing more but ended up hating how they looked and scrapped them (have tried Aquarius a solid 5 times apparently, according to the amount of Photoshop files names “aquariusagain#.psd”). >__> Every once in a blue moon I try again. Eventually there will be one more, at least.
