As anyone in the fashion can attest, it’s all about the accessories. Lokman Lam expertly applies this sartorial secret throughout his gallery, as he transforms a shapely young woman in a simple bikini into a science fiction masterwork time and time again. A scrap of armor, demonic horns, or an elegant cape is all it takes… plus a keen eye for a dramatic pose and interesting angle.

Mr Lam is not, however, limited to beachwear, and has an exceptional talent for crafting classic fantasy females, including human sorceresses and elves of the light and dark variety.

Careful examination of his gallery will reveal the occasional fanart homage to videogame and anime heroines, richly illustrated in his unique style, but you’re most likely to return for Lokman’s next futuristic adaption of the classic bathing beauty.
