The characters developed by veteran concept artist and character designer Mike May are anything but ordinary – each inhabits a unique world, suggested not so much by the environment they’re rendered in but by the dress, demeanor, and look of the characters themselves. Mike is a also a superb caricaturist. There’re a ton of drawings and illustrations on his portfolio site and additional, more recent, work on his blog, so if you need some inspiration, go check it out.
One of the things I really like about Zach Johnsen’s website are the sketch collages that scroll down a mile long. Of course, what’s amazing here are the amazing illustrations themselves.
Most Wretched Mess by Skinner
Skinner’s art is wonderfully trippy and dark, with a good dose of social critique. Apparently viewing some of his color work through 3D glasses makes things actually look 3D! Definitely check out more of his sick work at The Art of Skinner.

Many of you may already be familiar with the works of James Jean, whether you know it or not. Since 2001, James has been working in the comic industry on such titles as Fables (above), Batgirl, Green Arrow, and others.
I feel this drawing perfectly displays Niko Henrichon’s ability to draw both compelling comic characters as well as bring to life vivid fantasies.
Man Hethe Srodawa is incredibly talented and imaginative. If you’re ever in the need for some character inspiration check out his portfolio or stop by his blog.
This drawing is but a small glimpse into the deliciously twisted and borderline perverse world of Coro36. Whether realistic figure or full-fledged fantasy drawings, this guy is ridiculously talented.
