The trick is to have good work. Bad art will hurt you more than no art.
One trick I've used is to get a light table (or box), and sketch over a piece that has elements you need. It'll improve your skills, and you can quickly transform a mundane piece into something fantasy.
For my Babylon5 as D&D fantasy game, I re-drew Londo a G'kar as a gnome and dwarf. Took about an hour for each with the light box. Basically I traced their general features and added modifications (eliminating the alien aspects, as well). It worked out well enough, and by redrawing the whole thing, it looked better than "markering in a beard on G'Kar.
