Community of concept artists

http://conceptart.org/

This is a cool website I found back when I wanted to do communication design. It is a community for professional and aspiring designers and illustrators, and has tons of galleries and information on how to become an artist in the entertainment industry. Though not really meant for fine art, I think it's interesting to see the kind of work that is currently or will soon be feeding directly into different areas of popular culture. The work in the galleries covers a huge range of styles, and although it is mostly illustrative, some artists find a lot of very unusual and interesting ways to construct their images. I also like how the galleries of really well known and successful artists sometimes appear right next to artists who are just beginning their careers or education.
