To be honest I don't feel artists so much as specific works inspire me, if that makes sense...there's a few pieces i often go back to, where i feel I can use them to center myself. I like staring at art. I kinda need to sometimes, because otherwise my mind wanders and visualization gets annoying.
But to answer the question! I feel guilty over mentioning people on cohost, I can't pick just a few! So have some off-site mentions!
- yaziri_art (https://twitter.com/YAZIRI_art) - large, complex rendered paintings which are sort of my goal in general
- the G (https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/7815125) - an abundance of action-packed sketches which i really dig
- 骨は骨 (https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/34282604) - intricate and unique style of lineart imo
- esuthio (https://www.artstation.com/esuthio) - robots, monsters, just incredible designs and rendering. does art for mtg
have fun over there if you do click thru!
i may come back to this some day. thanks for the ask!
