Artists who are better than you are: (in no particular order)

Cara Mitten: Not only have I been worshipping her art since I was 11 or 12, but she's one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of talking to. She does mostly fantasy art, lotsa hyenas, too.
http://hyenapaws.critter.net/

Slimu: I think Slimu sold his soul for artistic talent or something. People a year younger than me aren't allowed to be that good. >_< Anywho, he has great anime art and no matter what I say, he's a real sweetie.

Seby: Verra cute-chibi stuff... but not the kind that a person hides behind to mask that they can't draw... she's GOOOD. She doesn't upload anything to this gallery anymore, but I'm too lazy to go out and find a more current place. (and there's lotsa art here anyway)
http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Meghan-Dombrowski/

Julie Dillon: Incredible anime art. If you're looking for tutorials on bodies, faces, hair, clothing, or digital coloring, this is your place.

Tochi: I came across her site by chance and I love her art. She has a really unique hybrid-anime style. Check out her manga, Strings of Fate! (I'm in love with Tony... but then again, everyone is. ^^; )

Pseudo Manitou: I find his art very appealing for some reason... it's highly stylized and most all of his pictures have some kind of purpose/moral to them. (PG-13)

Kyoht: Absolutely wonderful art. Mostly werewolves, coyote-type stuff.
http://kyoht.com/

Aja Williams: Ooh, drool-worthy stuff here. Lotsa anime-type furries. (PG-13)
http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vcl/Artists/Aja-Williams/index.html

Dee Dreslough: Free art, lotsa dragons, and some very nice tutorials.
http://www.dreslough.com/

Michael Whelan: Of course everyone's heard of Michael Whelan. He's been one of the foremost fantasy artists for the past 20 years or so.

John: Proof that if I was a guy everyone'd want to get into my pants.

Heather/Merf: I'm responsible for the nickname Merf... it came out of some kinca half-crazed conversation "way back when." Heather's claim for fame is being the creator of the Foxxis, whose popularity is growing. I'm Gesshoku Foxxis. ^^ She's also a great artist.

FireEyes: Really nice person, really good artist. I've actually known her for some time... she helped me work out quirks in the 'Fridge.
http://www.tailchaser-sushi.com/

Mickey: Well, I'd like to say Mickey is my friend. She's a kickass artist I met at RISD... I stole her a couple times and made her draw me stuff.
http://www.redcarp.com/

Melissa Jewell: Melissa's always been nice to me. She's also a great artist.
http://www.mewtopia.net

Draconic.com: "For Dragons, by dragons." Well, this is more like an organization than anything, but I've been a member there since I was 11 or 12 or so, and a couple members I've met there are like family to me.

Web-comics:

Sluggy Freelance: This is probably one of the best web-comics out there. I'm also kinda partial because the guy lives somewhere near me. (I found a doodle he made at a local craft shop!) I've never met him, but... ah, well. It's been running since 1997.. if you want to read the whole thing, (which I reccomend) be prepared to set aside a several free hours.

Sabrina Online: An extremely well-done monthly comic. The artist is amazing. *nod* It's been translated into about... 6 languages now. (curses, I can't find a banner for it...)
http://sabrina-online.com/

Mory's Education: Jess Tuttle's webcomic! Worship Mordred! ^^

Strings of Fate: Tochi's wonderful wonderful online manga with not only a great plot but wonderful art as well. I highly suggest it to anyone. *tries to steal Tochi's talent* N'rrarr...

Deamonology 101: A really nice online manga that's been running for quite some time. It's REALLY addictive.

Directions of Destiny: Slimu's manga. The art is really professional looking. Damned prodigies. -.-

Bite me: Very silly and just obscenely well written. Vampires. And barmaids.

Return to Sender: Such pretty pretty nifty art... and it's all in blue! BLUE! ...and "Often" is just a cool name.

MacHall: Slackers in college. Fabulous art. Great humor. Quidditch.

Free web-Galleries:

Elfwood: The largest fantasy gallery on the net, home to over 8,500 fantasy artists, as well as sci-fi artists, and writers. I recommend joining to an ameture fantasy artist, it's a very friendly atmosphere.
