I am studying and working as a general designer currently. I have no real favorite art, as is with music for me. I prefer simple stuff with intricate designs by default, but some of my favorite stuff is very simple in form and detail.
I'd like this to be a place where you can share images and video of anything you consider art. Rules of DakkaDakka will have to be followed of course, and there is no need to show offensive imagery here (per the Dakka rules) but non-photo "art" is usually more acceptable. Sharing your own art is totally kosher, as long as you host elsewhere.
REMEMBER: DO NOT USE THE ATTACHMENT FEATURE TO UPLOAD NON WAR-GAMING IMAGES TO THE SERVER
Here is a few things I found online, I will mainly be focusing on images, rather than video. Wait... there is one video actually.
I prefer fetish and tasteful nude photography, which for obvious reasons cannot be linked here. I also enjoy random game concept art for some reason, the rough lines and crude strokes used to convey an idea or concept are most interesting to me.

My favourite thing in this thread is the gratuitous amount of boobs.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

The types of art i like : something enchanting! something that can change our current emotions, something that can tell a story or convey the artist's feeling with just a picture.
Basically any type of medium that can express those feelings i consider them as "art"

I'm an art lover as well, I also have a broad category of what art is. Therefore, I like all kinds of art. I stay away from Anime, though. I'm not a fan of that.
This isn't just 'cause I'm a big nerd, but my favorite artist is John Blanche.
Photography; renaissance and Baroque art in all its forms, architecture.

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

I also like concept sketches as they often capture something a final doesn't, more raw I guess...
...and of course, Wayne Barlowe. Never has weirdness been so anatomically correct. Check out his books Expedition and Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials.
See I just love anime and Manga type art . . . also been getting back into comic books, mainly Batman atm =]
Also been getting back into drawing, just been drawing pictures of my girlfriend, although the face started out being out of proportion, but with practice I've been improving =p

I really like this guy called Louis Wain. Louis Wain really liked drawing cats.
The guy has some talent, but it isn't very interesting. I mean it's interesting that he drew nothing but cats, but cats is cats. Except he started changing it up, anthropomorphising the cats.
So now you've got slightly creepy pictures of cats. But something was happening to Louis Wain, and you could see it in his art. Louis Wain began to suffer from schizophrenia, and was institutionalised for it. It didn't stop him painting cats, but it certainly changed the way he painted them.
So that's the story of a guy who really liked cats, who went crazy and had that affect his art in the most amazing way. But he never stopped liking cats.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
I really like whoever did the old pin-up girls from the 30s and 40s. They were able to capture the female form in a really nice why. They also made them sexy, but minus the sheer slutiness of todays smut.
As a quasi-engineer, Frank Lloyd Wright has always had an appeal to me as well.
