Fantasy Fan

Michael Tang, currently a college student, is a digital and traditional artist that favors doing fan art of video games and popular animes. Tang's fan art varies from some others because his images do not appear to be replicas of screen shots taken from the game or show.

Tang's portfolio is far from being just a collection of fan art. Tang has a variety of original characters and shows that he's practically a master over Photoshop. From the detail coloring of the characters to the great attention and awareness of the importance of a background, Tang's work is beautifully done.

Besides the technical form of Tang's work, there's also a number of illustrations that show his humor.

Sketching

Irma Ahmed, a traditional artist who works as a professional sketch card artist. Ahmed is a fan of many popular game, movie, and comic series, such as Dragon Age, Star Wars, and Marvel comics. Naturally, a decent portion of her work is fanart, in the forms of comics and sketch cards upon sketch cards of her favourites, and comissions of the like. 

On a different note, her original works, inclduing her own comic series, reflect an individual comic style.

Nagas

Natalie Hijazi, a digital artist who is a fan of video game and role play characters. Although primarily known for her work containing Nagas, Natalie has gotten a lot of response to the character designs for her original characters she has used in online role-playing.  Her art varies from serious to hilarious at every other turn, with small comic strips lined up after serious or more complex illustrations.
Some examples taken from http://natalie79.deviantart.com :

The vast majority of her pieces are computer generated images varying from quick sketches and speed painting to much more detailed and time consuming works. However, Natalie is not constrained to digital media. Her other works can be seen at http://nataliehijazi.com .

Marcin Stawiarz, born in 1981, is a world-traveling photographer. Stawiarz was born in Poland and has been to France, Spain, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Belgium, Netherlands, England, Wales, Germany, Portugal, Hong Kong and Dubai. Stawiarz loves desolate landscapes, surreal settings, and playing with the lighting and its effect on the photo.

Only recently did Stawiarz begin to take a true interest in cityscapes. However, Stawiarz tries to apply the themes of a natural setting to the cityscapes, specifically the sense of harmony and peace.
