Amazing what illustrators can do, on first glance, I wouldn’t expect these “photographs” to be fake. Some of them look even better than 3d generated character art. You’ll find a nice collection of vector drawn illustrations from different artists all over the globe

Vector Art

In my effort to search for some Zbrush 3 tutorials, I stumbled across this huge collection of tutorials. And it has both 3d and 2d tutorials. An amazing resource and since it’s open to the public, you can submit tutorials and get rewarded at the same time.

I just found this really cool art blog, the great thing about this site is that it dwells deeper into the thoughts and considerations of what art really is. After dousing myself in a few articles, I found myself in deep thought, contemplating what art truly is, and whether what us commercial artists perceive art as, is truly a worthwhile experience. In any case, it’s a really good read. I particularly like one post entitled Degrees of Art. And anything that gets you thinking can only be good. Do check out Artblog.net and decide for yourself.

A Chinese CG Portal with lots of very inspirational artworks from China. It’s important to expose yourself to as many different cultures and it’s so interesting to see how cultural differences can affect style and ideas.

AlienThink’s The Structure of Man is a series of human anatomy training videos spanning 5 dvds making a total of 43 hours worth of video training. Extremely concise and covers a wide range of topics regarding anatomy.

I stumbled upon this site while surfing through CGTalk, IESB.net, THe Movie Reporter. The name pretty much says it all. It’s a great site to go to if you want the latest news about up and coming films, surprisingly enough, they also have stuff like concept art for unreleased films, such as this article on Disney’s Bridge to Terabithia.

ASFA (Allen Spiegel Fine Arts) is the art representative for artists such as Kent Williams, Phil Hale and Dave McKean. I really enjoyed Kent Williams work on Meltdown and his portrayal of Wolverine is by far the most original, even though it is an adaptation of one of the most popular comic icons. The website includes a nice selection of each artist’s works and sells art books relevant to these artists.

Lots of cool mech design by Makoto Kobayashi, great place to go if you need some inspiration for mechanical designs.

A friend recommended this really nice digital sculpting forum, it’s in german, nonetheless, some really amazing works over there.
