'Luis Royo (born in 1954 in Olalla, Spain) is a Spanish artist, known for his darkly sensual paintings of women and mechanical life forms. He has also recently started doing sculptures of some of his earlier art.

He was born in Olalla, a small town near Teruel, Spain. He has produced many paintings for his own books/exhibitions, and has also produced art for various other media: videogames, CD album covers, comic book covers, and Tarot cards.

He is most famous for his work doing illustrations of Julie Strain for the animated movie Heavy Metal.' [Wikipedia]

I've admired Luis Royo's work before, but I thought I would post this and give some links for those of you who have not had the pleasure. This image here is from a fan site, but Royo's official page is here and more links to his awesome art can be found on this google page.
