I've been busy working on a game recently and I haven't had much time to find new goodies on the internet but here are a couple useful websites and designers I have discovered recently that I would like to pass off to other artists out there to get inspired as I have.
Feng Zhu Has released some new tutorials for free on his website.

I've found another website of numerous photoshop tutorials including UI which is my weak point at the moment.

Also I have discovered who created the background renders for final fantasy 9. Jake L Rowell is probably one of the best background artists for the series. His work speaks for itself.
