William Li

Well hello there. I live in a small country called the Kingdom of the Netherlands (yes, it's a monarchy). First I'd like to thank and praise Thomas A. for creating The Experience that is called Elfwood. It has truly become an amazing community where artists can be inspired to reach the greater heights :)
Well, here you can see my fantasy art encompassing many years. And I'm still learning :)
I like to make fantastical worlds come alive, drawing the viewer into them. There has to be more to the image than meets the eye, more than color, composition and skilled execution. There has to be a suggestion of reality, an ongoing story, history or emotion. That's basically what inspires me.
I am mostly self-taught and I believe dedication, discipline and practice are more important than talent alone.
I hope you enjoy my worlds of imagination. ^_^

Oh, in real life I work as industrial design engineer (MSc.) Almost forgot mentioning that ;)
