Last but certainly not least is the artwork of Chris Torres. I have been told plenty of times that this is by far the most realistic image in the 2009 NovaStar Studios Fantasy Illustration Calendar. This is because Mr. Torres’ work comes with great attention to detail and an eye for true representation. As you can see, this is not work from an amateur.
Christ attend The School of Visual Arts and graduated with a Fine Arts Degree specializing in illustration. Since then, he has worked on several different projects including comic book covers, murals, CD design packaging and promotions, etc.
Recently, Chris’ work was displayed along with other artists at The Longwood Art Gallery at Hostos University located in the Bronx, NY under the title “Dream Sequence” (2009). Currently he is working on a number of projects for Atlas Unleashed.

For what it is worth, this is my favorite illustration from this calendar (http://freelanceink.blogspot.com/2009/12/last-call-for-year-in-belkis.html). I’m just sorry that this is the last month of the year.
