With the bad press the games industry seems to be getting over misogyny and sexism, I think we should do what Polycount is best known for:
Shutting up and posting art.
So lets to start a thread to highlight some of the awesome art made by females that are huge inspirations to us (and potentially serve as role models for the next generation of aspiring female artists):
**PLEASE DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT SEXISM** ONLY POST AWESOME ART!

Not 3D or Polycount, but a little Jen Zee love never hurts.
I (super unfortunately) can't think of anyone else off the very top of my head right now, but I'll probably dump some more in here once I can remember (and I'm not supposed to be working, lol).
