actually most of these are pretty terrible, content-wise. excellent technique, but poor composition and originality. mostly just rehashes of every anime/bad fantasy cliche out there, with a few notable exceptions such as silent prayers and the light study.

Bit of an oversell don’t you think?
These may be GOOD for art students, but ‘worlds best’? You should take an art appreciation class.
You may want to add a writing class too, if you plan on “blogging”.
