This struck me as a neat topic to open up a thread on! 

I'm always striving to emulate the master, Frank Frazetta, and thanks to the "Luscious Curves" morph for V4 I can now use Poser renders as a good starting point.  However, I'm always on the lookout for new artists (new to me, that is), for inspiration, and try to look outside of the strictly CG field, book covers being a favourite source.  Someone who's really caught my eye lately is Donato Giancola, whose work I absolutely love. Also Royo and Sorayama.

Anyone else get turned on by a particular artist working in these fields?
