Inspirational Deviants

Awhile back, I was searching for someone to create a mascot for EpicTable. I wanted a mascot–an iconic figure, not just a logo. Some creature that would be to EpicTable what Eddie is to Iron Maiden. My search led me to Adam Vehige and his gallery on deviantART.
Along the way, I spent (way too many) hours paging through some really great artwork. I’ve found myself returning to these sites when I need inspiration for an important villian or location.
Looking at work of this quality can often give me the boost I need to come up with a site or encounter that’s more memorable. I thought I’d share some of my favorites here.
I’m not going to load you down with a ton of links. There’s a lot worth exploring on deviantART and CG Channel. These are just my favorites.
