Other artists

 I've gone and looked at some other blogs, and these are some interesting artists which they've looked into.

 Hironobu Sakaguchi

 The creator of Final Fantasy, and a personal favourite of mine. Japanese, born and working. This man has mostly made video-games.

Aurelio "Voltaire" Hernandez

 A musician and composer, who I just found out composed one of the favourite musical pieces from my childhood. Born in Cuba, played all over the place.

Christophe Peladan

 A Danish animator who previously worked on "pirates". I liked this practitioner due to his visual style and his themes.
