I've been looking at some matte art and concept art and have been trying to figure out how to start, what techniques are best, etc etc... and found I couldn't really come up with all that much information. Anyone know of places to see these things? I'd really love to learn more!

Also a quiz I stole from DV!

What's your score? 59 points.

If you have 00-10 ... write [I'm a goody-goody]
If you have 11-20 ... write [I'm still a goody-goody]
If you have 21-30 ... write [I'm average]
If you have 31-40 ... write [I'm a bad kid]
If you have 41-50 ... write [I'm a very bad influence]
If you have 51-60 ... write [I'm a horrible person]
If you have 61-70 ... write [I should be in jail]
If you have 71-80 ... write [I should be dead]
