The new issue of ImagineFX is out now, and it's jam-packed with fantasy goodness that's sure to warm even the coldest hearts with a heavy dose of nostalgia.
You'd be hard pressed to find one of our readers without a soft spot for one of the golden age fantasy films. Whether it was The Princess Bride, Indiana Jones or ET that got their creative juices flowing, the '80s provided a wealth of inspiration for artists young and old.
Blast from the past: in a tragic coincidence, ImagineFX's new issue features the beloved Goblin King from the film Labyrinth, portrayed by the late David Bowie, in pride of place on our cover – and you can learn how to paint a fitting '80s fantasy film poster tribute to the man who inspired your love of fantasy as a child.
