You can go crazy once you start to search for photoshop artists/illustrators/designers. I have gone actually! I think photoshop has given a chance to anyone who wants to become a digital artist and create a digital art without having a serious art background. Lots of them might have enough skills to please my eyes but only few of them has the ability to touch my heart and stay with me for a long time. Dave McKean is one of them. His conceptual works, colours that he uses, how he layers his images and his versatile personality reflected in his art, truly attracts and inspires me!

I have never been a fan of video games and always found myself having hard times to sit, play and enjoy them. But Heavenly Sword has become exclusion to this. It's main character, Nariko, has become my source of inspiration for my future graphic novel project. As if she was what I have been thirsty inside, a figure of strength and wisdom, while reminding me that we are not the stories our family, friends, people around keep telling us about who we are, rather we are what we have chosen to be. She still couldn't make me a video gamer but has definitely made me a modest fan of Alessandro Taini. Just be patient with his website. It takes some time till you get there and see his art works.
