The life of aspiring artists is a relentless learning process. Artists inspire each other and grow together here in the community. Hollywood feature films and the blockbuster games are sources of inspiration, outside of these, where should a young artist be looking for influences?

I personally think that it is always good to look back and study from the Classical Masters. I am sure there is a lot of inspiration in the industry and many contemporary talents are a fantastic source of inspiration, but the classical Art is also still a real benchmark imho
