That map is the best thing I've seen in ages.  It's both clever and well constructed.  It is beautiful.

Keith Thompson does a lot of really macabre creatures as well, but I think he cleaned up his front page after the book deal.

Undead Stuff

[JLJac]

Yeah, now I remember the name. He's already in my fav list, wonderfully horrific art, that!

[El Moppo]

Aztec art... Now that's pretty badass. To me, that is.

[bweezl]

Wow, thats lovely... i'd love someone to replicate these scenes in pixelly goodness. Hmm...

ZDZISŁAW BEKSIŃSKI

Hah, I was going to post that. Either way, I'll share my favorites:








P.S.: Zdzislaw Beksinski Collection.rar

[JLJac]

my mind have not been this blown in 4 years

[kinnas]

It's a bit peculiar, Beksinski isn't generally a well known artist but seems to be pretty much the best known (and loved) artist amongst the internet crowd.

Yeah, he was never good at marketing his stuff and getting his name across. I also read that one time in the 70's (or 80's ?) he purposely burnt most of his work because it was too personal or something like that, he seemed like a rather shy character. But those who excel, no matter how unpopular they were, will eventually resurface and receive recognition.

_{As a side note, that creepy music loop in his website is so fucking cool.}

[JLJac]

Might be that the stuff has a pretty upfront fantasy/scifi character to it, and people that are not nerds tend to deem that as lesser art without really judging it on the same conditions. Sad story, that.

[pogo]

This stuff is amazing... it's really motivating me be creative.

i don't know if I can hot link any of his images but in my opinion one of the greatest character designers out there Hyung-tae Kim. his attention to detail, costume design and insane poses continue to inspire a novice like myself.

a friend of mine Ed, an awesome comic artist. I've even sat and watched this guy draw. I'm convinced I can't learn anything from the guy he's so advanced.

Ah, the Magna Carta dude! I never knew his real name and googling Magna Carta always came up with other stuff. Thanks for this.

I'm glad no one else posted him so I could..
MOEBIUS aka Jean Giraud

Looking through his comics you'll find a large part of Star Wars was inspired by his work. Like the Death Star, ships/character designs.

He's extremely prolific and can do pretty much any style. I'm mostly just taking whats in a google search, but I have almost everything he's done. It will explode you to see.









If you look for his stuff, check out the Blueberry series (western). As well as his collections of sci fi comics.

Wow, some amazing art in this thread 

My favourite artist of all time is still Mary Blair 










Her work is the only reason I shamefully don't mind it's a Small World ride 


Pretty much looks like Disney used her style again in Epic Mickey concept art, too

I went to this yesterday.
The art was amazing.

They gave us 3d glasses to view it.

This dude's shit looks so damn good in 3d.

Man Arenas:


Spanish artist who does a lot of different freelance projects.  He's done character and background design for animated films, comics, childrens' books illustrations and tons of stuff.  Total badass with a lot of art variety.  Only problem is that he has three websites:
Yaxin the Faun art blog: http://yacinfields.blogspot.com/
Man Arenas art blog: http://man-arenas-news.blogspot.com/
Dodecaden: His portfolio site (not as well updated): http://www.dodecaden.com/Public/

Tkotrxtiny: http://homepage3.nifty.com/tkotrxtiny/

Japanese artist.  Reminds me a lot of Miyazaki's older stuff.  I think she does book illustrations, but I honestly have no idea.  I just stumbled onto her site at random and fell in love with her work.  She only updates with a new image once in a blue moon, tho she's put up a few new ones in the last month or two - which is a lot for her...

Koyori (I have no idea if that's actually his/her name...  anyone know japanese care to enlighten me?)

As a side note, this person keeps their art on Pixiv.  I dunno if you need an account to view the stuff...  I managed to fumble my way through making an account.  It's well worth the effort, because there is some amazingly awesome work to be found on that site.  It's like the Japanese version of Deviantart or something, but you can access a members favorites really easily and thus end up finding a lot of really good artists just by clicking around.  I find it kinda fun to go through and collect bookmarks on that site.  Definitely check it out - especially if you're into the whole anime thing.

[Melly]

Pixiv is so annoying. I couldn't manage to make an account myself, and it seems like it's very popular among badass oriental artists.

[Kekskiller]

that kicked my ass so fucking hard

[BoxedLunch]

This guy makes some nice but disturbing things. http://colinfix.blogspot.com/
