Kazumasa Uchio, or “ucchiey,” who modestly describes himself as “an old guy who loves dragons,” is an artist few would wish to remain ignorant of.
As with many such artists, his works exhibit something of a fascination with particular themes, in his case overwhelming that of dragons set amidst fantastic landscapes…
Now in his fifties, he has enjoyed a lengthy and distinguished 30 year career as a freelance illustrator, having trained at university and in Europe in traditional art, and then moved to CG art in the nineties. His achievements include innumerable awards, published works, and exhibitions, including the concept art for a Final Fantasy movie.
He holds occasional exhibitions of his works where they can viewed in full size (the originals are generally metres in size), and has spoken of releasing an artbook
He maintains his own site, as well as a Pixiv profile.

capcom should hire him to draw design arts for monster hunter i bet it will look great
cool, now where are them loli dragons?
so many dragons... but where's the fire?
Great Landscape Art!
Geez. These are serious skills being put on display here. Maybe one day I can get to this level.
where's my kagutsuchi?
he should do the dragon god from demon's souls
an artist on sankaku who doesn't draw naked lolis :) -what's happened ?
A cat is fine too :)
Is naiz
Jumping Allah on a pogo-stick. This is some nice art.
This wallpaper + rainmeter = EPIC!!!
i hope he has more pictures i could use.
Dear god the Japanese make so much beautiful art. Japanese art is like classic black people music when it use to have soul and pride (unlike todays thug crap).
Magnificent! One of the best galleries i have seen on this site.
A "trap" at the end ....
SquareEnix should just hire this guy for FF16. I mean seriously, that's how airships should look like!
Any chance we are gonna see these on the channel in HD?
This is better than porn; I'd pay money for an artbook by this "old guy."
Wow, now this is art. :l
This guy should consider trying his hand at Wizards of the Coast's Magic franchise. His work is phenomenal.
HE'S FANTASTIC
oh. my. god.
OMG, excellent! Beautiful art. At least something not involving nude lolis xD
Do images bigger in resolution than the ones posted here exist? These deserve an uncompressed format of at least 5000x5000px :P. Also that would be good for making wallpapers (1920x1080, although it hurts me cropping the art to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio >.<)
Thanks to the Anon who uploaded all the images here: http://www.1filesharing.com/mirror/NM7JNMZ3/Kazumasa%20Uchio.zip [http://www.1filesharing.com/mirror/NM7JNMZ3/Kazumasa Uchio.zip]
:3
Some of those backdrops and dragon pics remind me of Dungeons & Dragons.
I love these. They have the feel of the 80's metal art that a lot of newer fantasy art doesn't have.
The most BadAss artwork I've yet to see.
Makes me wish we were back in the days where making this type of thing didn't get you ridiculed by the philistines of youth.
I'm disappoint by the distinct lack of fire breathing.
Dragons! And CATS?!! This guys wins immediately
I thought that airship photo looked like something out of FFIX.
It's amazing how many artists his work reminds me of:
Easley, Caldwell, perhaps here and there a dash of Froud . . .
Lovin' it! ^_^
awesome artwork
Dude is awesome. The colors are wild
This is the BEST Gallery I've seen so far.
Thanks Artefact, you did a splendid job... *manlytears*
Fuckin' cool shit.
epic.
Holy shiz!
These arts are awesome. I love fantasy and I would love to live at any of places in the arts...
I see some nice wallpapers here.
bad luck i can get them in 1440 x 900
there is only a few that get near that...
well a few is better than nothing... saving
True. Awesome wallpaper material right there.
Absolutely stunning! He makes the dragons in certain pics have an organic feel...incredible.
Luv that last pic.
dragons!?! this guy is cool in my book. not to self come back and get pictures
More Artecles like this plx.
This guy is fantastic. So much wallpaper potential at once....
It's like Middle-Earth. Just more fantastic.
Was kinda reminded of Barsaive from the Earthdawn setting myself
Oh wow, I was expecting this to be a trap/troll article. Imagine my surprise. ^^
Fucking awesome.
Those look beautiful, and the kittens at the end were absolutely adorable.
Indeed a very talented guy. Loved it.
This gallery does not suck.
I would love to hang some of those tall ones in my room
Seconded. Wish I had a few of these in my house also.
Great job on this one Artefact.
Truly gifted.
