Both my younger siblings are talanted when it somes to drawing, something I'm envious of. My little sister has some of her art online on Elfwood, and I suggest that you take a look at it.

Another (not so) amateur artist I've come to admire is Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. She has a gallery at Elfwood and also her own private domain with more pictures.

While roaming Elfwood (I do that a lot. I just can't resist pretty pictures) I also found Kathy Choi. She does wonderful anime/manga-inspired pictures and is a generally very friendly and generous person. Unfortunately she has since taken down her gallery on Elfwood and is nowhere to be found. She agreed to providing graphics to the DreamSNES project. As all programmers know the hard thing when doing a program is not to make the code, but making the art covering up the the code (at least if you are a programmer :) ). So we love her for that. :-)

(If someone knows where to find her nowadays, please share!)
