Shout-out for a great artist: LoupGarou
10 years ago
If you like art with an attention to detail and a beautifully wide variety of species topics, I have to recommend LoupGarou.
I've been watching Lim Guo Liang for over a decade now, and watching him proceed in his art career. He continues to come up with neat character designs (Binturongs! I just gotta say... Binturongs!) and he puts a lot of love and effort into insuring they are well-done. And the concepts themselves have a wonderful blend of beauty, innovation, and face-palm-slapping punnery. (Go see his piece on Queen Boudica. I'm not going to ruin the punchline, but while you're laughing, take a good look at her armor, and enjoy. It's just beautiful.)
Now here's the interesting twist: Loup lives in Malasysia. He's trying to become a self-supporting artist, and has a Patreon account. He asks for you to keep your donations modest; he honestly feels weird if you give him more than, say, $5/month. $1 USD goes really far in Malaysia, so even very small monthly donations have a big impact for him. He's humble about it, and just wants people to see his work.
He deserves it, in my opinion. Go sponsor LoupGarou, and enjoy.
