Michael Dashow is a science fiction, fantasy, and childrens’ 2D and 3D artist. While his works are often made digitally, he is also an expert at watercolor painting. His illustrations have been featured in such publications as ImagineFX, Fantasy Art Magazine, Expose, and others. He has won several awards, including multiple CGSociety challenges. One of his most notable clients is Blizzard Entertainment, where he worked on Diablo II and III.
His illustrations encompass a wide range of styles, from emotional to bizarre, but each piece is a masterpiece, and his capturing of the finest details is one of the ways he stands out in the world of illustration. For some of his works, I have included both the large version, and the detail version, so you can see the incredible amounts of effort and talent that are involved in each piece.
I hope you like Michael’s work as much as I do, and be sure to check out his website, located here: http://www.michaeldashow.com/

Sick as a dog at home in the UK.
Thanks. These wonderful images really cheered me up
i really like all illustrations of Michael Dashow who create such a imaginative art in whole post. thanks
Just found these by StumbleUpon. Unbelievable work, brought a smile to my face. Keep it up!
surreal but cool art like the myth itegration
these are great!!!
That’s some great art.
incredible illustration, especially the boss who looked like kraken.
BRAVO!
This is what StumbleUpon is all about — discovering great talent.
Love the “light” in your drawings — beautiful.
Cheers… and Namaste,

Phenomenal!!! Excellent work. Would love to see more.
Nice! These would be awesome in video games… I would totally love the characters that you present fighting through the magical scenes you create….
there is nothing funny about cthulu is an office-setting,.
Very nice, creative. This guy has an incredible grasp on shadowing.
I found these Illustrations to be very stunning. I felt so much emotions glaring at each one for a few minutes. Some longer than others. Admiring every detail. I hope to see more of this artist. *applaud*
This guy needs to get with either Disney or Pixar to make some movies, the concepts alone in the art is imaginative and refreshing. The quality is astounding…I paused for at least 2 minutes at each picture…he should definitely be doing movies or cartoons or something….must share this talent with the world…
Michael Dashow is a GREAT science fiction, fantasy, and childrens’ 2D and 3D artist.
These are great images. A very nice collection here. I took a look at the link provided and enjoyed some more great images on his website too.
Awesome draws, man.
Love your style! Keep it up and go far!
WOW!!!! not only the illustrations themselves, but also the concepts behind them.
great facial expressions, great characters and just awesome in general!
Thumbs way way UP!
good job!
Most of these verge on cartoons, as opposed to illustrations.
Wish I had 1/10 of the artistic talent
These are nice
Some very nice work, he has a lovely depth of field and clever use of color.
I really liked these! Stumpled them!
And I just happened to stumble upon this page myself. Thanks for all of your comments, everyone, they really made my day! Glad you like my work! And thank you for featuring my work, Presidia.
You’re welcome Michael, keep up the fantastic work!
As a fan of Steampunk I feel obliged to ask – where did the thirteenth one come from?
In early 2009, there was a big art and video contest on CGSociety.org with a steampunk theme. I was a judge for that contest and ineligible to win any prizes, but wanted to make a steampunk painting anyhow, so I worked on that piece – entitled ‘Escape Plan B’ – along with everyone else working on their entries.
Oops, forgot the link with all of the winners, in case you want to see them: http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4936
Excellent talent, do you spread your work? sell it ?
cool..! i also noticed that you’re Blizzard’s illustrator..!
thanks for showing us the artworks.. it’s really inspiring
Thanks for this pleasure!! What a pretty pictures!!
Thank you, glad you like them!
@Patrick: I used to work for Blizzard, but don’t any more.
@Butterfly: I’m just now looking into how to make my work available as prints. I hope to have something set up to make it easy for people to get copies of my work soon, and will post here when I do.
Seen a lot of these over on CGSociety, but it was good to see some new ones too. Astounding work as usual!
Butterfly, and anyone else who is interested:
I have made a number of my images available as prints! You can see and order them through my new Imagekind gallery at http://mdashow.imagekind.com/illustration
I don’t have everything up there, but if there’s something someone wants a print of that isn’t there, contact me personally and I’ll try to make it available.
Hope no one minds the “shameless plug,” but Butterfly’s (and some other peoples’) requests were what made me research and find a way to make these prints available.
Ultimate use of picture effects thank you for sharing this information with us.

The most appealing to me is also the most realistic. The fourth image has a guy trying to look at the guys and one guy watching the one of the girls
I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because something many can relate too
