I just love this mans art. He is also really supportive to the artist community and has such a gorgeous art style. He does a lot of his OC’s combined with commission work. Has an amazing grasp on textures, light, shape & form and rendering!

I started following Ivan from the start of my artventure. Amazing realistic rendering with a diverse subject, studies, animals, fantasy and much more. Can’t go wrong with following him!

Hyunho Lee – lightbox77

I found Hyunho Lee early on, his growth is amazing but this guy has been around for almost 2 decades with pauses in between. He is cranking out amazing pieces the last two years, with a mix on fantasy, cybernetics with an amazing on point rendering.

Last but definately not least Natalie Bernard – nataliebernardart

Natalie creates fantastic scenic art. Focussing on portrait and half the most, she does a lot of commision work for bookcovers but who can blame her. This style just screams fantasy book cover and will grab any readers attention. Very nice soft rendering almost feels 3D!
