Luis Royo is one of the most famous fantasy and science-fiction artists in the contemporary word. He first studied technical and interior design and painting. Since 1978 he has received international recognition as a comic book artist. Royo’s illustrations and images have become so popular and widespread on postcards, calendars, playing cards and much more merch, that probably everyone has seen one of his artworks somewhere before. His success certainly derives form his fantasy-themed work that is mostly combined with hot-looking females in dystopian and sci-fi surroundings. In his Prohibited books, he presents the viewer a very special theme, namely monsters that have juicy sex with Chinese novel on the 108 Suikoden Heroes. You can find two exciting examples of this subject below…

The Beauty and the Beast Theme
In his edition, Royo picks up the classical theme of the beauty and the beast and sets it into new perspective. The beauty here is not classical in the sense that she is innocent or shows moral and decency, but she is a lusty, wild temptress. On the other hand, one could argue that she shows “classical” elements in the way beauty is depicted, because Royo’s women are always flawless, busty, drawn with the perfect body and always ready to mate. His monsters are a combination of rather ugly creatures from another dimension and with sometimes technologically adapted features. They do not transform into something more beautiful, as it is the case for the classical versions of the beauty and the beast, but they are gruesome and unappealing. They are excessively equipped and lecherously welcoming the female.
