Dig around the CG art community haven Deviant Art for a while and you come accross some serious talent!
These digitally-painted sword girls are from Japanese artist GETABO Hagiwara. He’s a sword instructor as well, and it shows in the authenticity of the blades and posing in his work. He might be a Ray Harryhausen fan, too, judging from all the Jason and the Argonauts-like skeletons some of the girls are fending off.
Just gorgeous! Prints are for sale at the DA link, and you can see more at the Japanese site Creative Works PURE (go to Gallery – Private).

It’s just speedpaintings really. There are people on dA who draw like this: http://azazel1944.deviantart.com/art/ASKA-60467245 http://azazel1944.deviantart.com/art/The-kensei-161226749 http://azazel1944.deviantart.com/art/KATANA-60467676 😉
