For content, I've just started reading BLAME!, which is a very dark cyberpunk manga that has some fantastic environments and really, really, awesome, cyborgs.
yeah it looks like one of the fujikoma.
That flickr search engine is very usefull.
Inspiration wise i just got 'the Art of Mass Effect' from ebay.

Just tried to google for a couple of images from it... god damn you Rule 34!!!!!!!!
"Those that do not begin, cannot finish."
"You are to give the craftsman in you a motive, else he cannot develop."
"... being but a mere patching together of many concepts - unrelated factors nevertheless cunningly interwoven - there is not in them that surge of life, that unity which is the mark of true organization."
"No vacillating of uncertain interest can produce unity."
"Faces are not permanently beautiful to us, nor are landscapes."
"Be shorter in words and longer in meaning."
"The beauty of the larger mass is primary to, and is essential to, the lesser mass."
"A tree growing out of the ground is as wonderful today as it ever was. It does not need to adopt new and startling methods."
"I LOVE the tools made for mechanics. I stop at the windows of hardware stores. If I could only find an excuse to buy many more of them that I have already bought on the mere pretense that I might have use for them! They are so beautiful, so simple and plain and straight to their meaning. There is no "Art" about them, they have not been made beatiful, they are beautiful."
I've been less and less involved in other people's art especially in recent years since the focus has been on my own, but if anything the most inspiration I've drawn from any one source has to have come from playing video games.
Just looking at some of my games, the most inspirational ones to me would be;
metal gear solid 4
uncharted 2
gta4
mirrors edge
left4dead 2
resident evil 5
bioshock
batman AA
team fortress 2
and a few of my all time fav's
xenogears
chrono cross
metal gear solid
vagrant story
final fantasy 7-9
I love you so much,
in a non gay way.
tsutomu nihei's stuff is awesome.
Thanks for this
but for the most part, poking around the forums and looking at others portfolios gets me going the most

I found this along with few videos of his so far.
According to his work flow, he would draw neatly on piece of paper and than scan it to import it in Photoshop to paint it.
I dont know if he is ever here on PC but does anyone know anyone's workflow related to this person?
Any related work flows will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: Make it, related Art style and the workflow.
Thanks.

I also have bookmarks for my favorite folios, and of course games like Uncharted2 and Mirror's Edge are very very inspiring.
Hadn't heard this before, but loved Mirrors Edge. Really nice music to listen to. Thanks!
This remix is good too, it gets better towards the 2nd half

He favorites/uploads a lot of really cool thangs.
images from google:
I just checked out that catalogue on their website, did I read it right that it's 600+ pages!?
That's.... huge!
Would you mind putting a few more pics up of it? It's only £12 here but that's £12 more than I want to spend on a catalogue if it's not packed full of some awesome pics.
