Yet another link...

Here is a fantasy artist who uses different techniques for solving compositional problems, using the digital process in a different way that what we're used to, and also does color comps/studies and even EXPLAINS THEM! I also find him very entertaining.

Compositions...

I just stumbled across this guy today and not only do I find him extremely funny and nerdy, but most of his compositions are very dynamic and interesting! Take a look!
