Okay. I have four favorite artists.

Christian Riese Lassen. Marine art. Its freaking beautiful, in depth, gorgeous, my first favorite artist.

Next is Wyland. Who can see a whale for a few seconds and get every detail even the size right in an airbrushed monument.

Kayaga was a recent one I found, adding so much detail into their art you can stare at it for hours.

But what persuaded me to make this journal.
Tsukushi Akihito. The artist behind Elebits.

Go ahead, click around, every single piece of art they have is amazing, highly detailed, it makes mine feel like crap but gives me so much more inspiration to draw @_@

Other than on dA, do you have any favorite artists?
