Resources
Just a massive list of sites that I like, no particular order. Contains other site resources / directories, fun websites to play around in, archival sites, literature, tools, sites that I simply think look clean, and artists’ sites that I like.
I’d like to note, click around here at your own risk. I’m pretty sure (as of making this list, 2024.02.02) all these links are safe. But I’m not going to put too much effort into maintaining this list at all, to be honest. Still will add to it every time I find something cool though.

| Greg Simkins | Psychadelic and eclectic collages of animals and objects. |
| ヤマーーダ/グレゴリウス山田 | Digital anime-style isometric scenes. |

| Ignacio Bazan-Lazcano | Illustrator and concept artist who paints robots, fantastical creatures, and futuristic warzones. |
| Moebius | Infinitely inspirational and creative digital artist who paints visually striking fantasy and sci-fi scenes. |

| Seb McKinnon | Creative medieval fantasy paintings. |
