NDA Art Critique Message Boards

So we have a "who's your favorite artist" thread--but lets see some links!

Post to artists, videos, galleries, or individual images that get your creative juices flowing.

Here's some of mine:

Kea-etc
Benjamin
Bengal
Josh Middleton


Aaand some videos:
Lady Ice, a WIP
Kitty and the Mudman
I can't find any of the other ones, but I loove student animations <3


Your turn, please post LINKS so we can see too, please!

Also, Preemptive strike!: We all know Neondragon is great, so no need to post a link to her. We're all already on her site! haha <3

My inspirations are

a drabbit named Cerenous(a puppet and I don't know the website but this person makes hundreds of them and sells them at the reniessance fair I think the site's called Imaginarium galleries but I'm not sure)
Jurasic park( dinosaurs)
disney and pixar movies(animation takes forever)

Do songs count??? if so then here are some.

How far we've come--matchbox twenty
The song Bulivard of broken dreams----green day (crazy perspective experiments anyone)
most songs by three doors down and 12 stones( both sound very similar so if you like one band you'll probably like the other band)

Inspirations?

Umm...let's see...first things first though, other than Adelle's artwork the other artist's mostly fall into the "grotesque fantasy section" just a warning if you find yourself easily disturbed then I would go only to Adelle's gallery (you'll be missing out though)

Keith thompson: http://www.keiththompsonart.com/ (the gallery can be a bit disturbing)

H.R. Giger: http://www.hrgiger.com/ (Probably even more disturbing than the above)

Adelle Lorienne: http://www.meadowhaven.net/ (it's just so pretty)

Tsutomu Nihei: manga artist with the absolutly most incredible enivroments and...well he's just awesome, he doesn't have an official site, but if you google Blame! (my absolute favorite comic of any kind), NOiSE, or Biomega you'll be able to see his works...though like most of my insprations he's also slightly odd in his works, and sometimes bloody.

Can't really think of any others, save for Neon, but as Neon pointed out that's kind of obvious XD

My inspiration comes...differently. In order to really get my creativity going, I just read a good fantasy book or historical fiction like Earth's Children series. Movies and simple tv shows also make me go hyper, but there is one artist out there that really makes me..."go" if you can call it that.

This isn't really a gallery, but it shows off some of my favorite art. I have his calendars (three around my room) including a daily one to give me inspiration and a fresh start to a new day. Darn he's good :P

Also, for some strange reason:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_Wiki

Reading lore from my favorite Blizzard Entertainment, as well as eyeing Samwise's art...it gives me inspiration as well. http://wow.game.mop.com/pic/art/sos/samwise/starcraft/StarCraft_Samwise003c.jpg

Honestly- I have no real use of putting a 'link' up seeing as there are only four people whom have inspired me.
Of course we all know neon dragonart so really is there point of putting the link when we all know it? XD
My best friend Kate ^^{aka SYNILE! yesh spelled like that..she is so synile lol.}
A very awesome art teacher of mine ^^
My now Deceased Boyfriend,
