I am a realist, I love drawing things as realistically as possible, but I also really enjoy art like this that are a little messy, i wish i knew what that was called.

Answer 1

the "genre" of this sort of art is called surrealism:
it means incorporating realistic elements in a painting together in such way, that the whole doens't look realistic anymore.
For example: realistic pic of a woman and realisticpic of animal wings give together a surrealist picture of an angel.

The majority of nowadays "fantasy art" would classify as surrealism

Answer 2

The photograph is a mixed media form of art. The drawing of the girl is a graphite or a charcoal rendering and the bar scene is either an oil or an acrylic painting.
Altogether you would call it a mixed media show.
Surrealism would describe the painting and the photo to an extent. But only so far as it is slightly modified to a surreal impression without losing it's realism. I do not know that there is a categories that all three can be put together in. But the drawing would be considered a portrait. So portraiture would best describe it.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

It's gothic art.

There are too kinds of gothic are:

-The medieval art that lasted about 200 years. It began in France out of the Romanesque period in the mid-12th century, concurrent with Gothic architecture found in Cathedrals. By the late 14th century, it had evolved towards a more secular and natural style known as International Gothic, which continued until the late 15th century, where it evolved into Renaissance art. The primary Gothic art mediums were sculpture, panel painting, stained glass, fresco and illuminated manuscript.

-The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture prevalent in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s to early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature, mainly through horror movies.

The goth subculture has associated gothic tastes in music and fashion. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles. Common to all is a tendency towards a "dark" sound and outlook. Styles of dress within the subculture range from death rock, punk, androgynous, some Renaissance and Victorian style clothes, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair.
