Pearl Abyss
Black Desert: Black Desert is a Korean MMO currently in production by Pearl Abyss and it looks beautiful. I chose this for the thing of the week this week because a new video dropped recently showing off the world in a decently timed fly through and my god the world looks massive. The visuals of the characters and the world are stunning and the world looks pretty seamless. Black Desert also features one of the most intensive character customization in any game to date. The game is free-to-play, and while an English client is being made, no word on the publisher has been announced yet. You can view any new and old videos the release on their YouTube channel.

Caleb Thomas
Caleb Thomas: Or dCTb on DeviantArt, is an artist and musician and is amazing at both. I remember first finding him when he was making short animations with Easytoon, from there he's moved into using Gimp for his art and animation. He's started focusing more on art than animation later on as he started making covers for his song albums. And has since excelled at both his art and music making. I've been keeping an eye on his progression for many years and I highly recommend taking a look at his music on his SoundCloud, and viewing his videos on his YouTube Channel.

Ilkyra: Ilkyra is a deviant artist I came across during my time back on the site and looking at the works of different people. She is an artist and animator who has been working on a specific world of her own called Chasm Crossing. Her animations are really smooth and flowing, and the expressions she makes on her characters really help read their moods and emotions. You can view more on Chasm Crossing and her other works on her DeviantArt Page. And she also does livestreams of her animating on Livestream.

Gonzossm: This week I present Gonzossm. He is an artist and animator and well known for the Toss The Turtle game. One of the reasons I wanted to try doing art in flash is because I recently watched his livestream of creating art. The animations he posts on his YouTube channel while sometimes a little on the mature side, are hilarious to the right audience. I enjoy his work and hope to understand more about creating art in Flash from his livestreams.
