Retrospective: Yoshitaka Amano

This artwork done by Yoshitaka Amano needs no writeup. He was one of the original concept artists and its a shame because I don't think I'll ever see anything so inspiring ever again.

Sterling Hundley

I've just come across a very inspiring link. His name is Sterling Hudley. If Gustav Klimt had a reincarnate, this would be the man. I love the softness and beauty of the lines. The characters are deep and wonderful. I like these modern settings under the ocean in scuba gear from the 20s. Just fantastic.

I discovered this school, FZD School of Design, based out of Singapore, Asia that teaches concept art for video games in English. It's absolutely amazing. They offer nearly 100 free video tutorials on their website.
