Following on from last month’s Inspirational Art - which you can select in the drop down above - we have another selection of images from some TalkGraphics and Inspirational Art regulars: Denis Sazhin, Rik Datta & Gary Bouton (all will make sense when you read it), Paul Saumure and Andrew Wrigley. Demonstrating as ever the rich variety of styles and skills amongst the designers currently using Xara software.

Denis Sazhin

Here are some more great images from the master of icons, Denis Sazhin. Many of you enjoyed his St Patrick’s Day icons last week after the post on our Facebook page, and he offers other free icons for download on his website. Denis uses Xara Designer Pro for all his illustration work, but note these examples have been animated with Anime Studio. This Muscle Man example comes from his Behance portfolio and was created for IMO Messenger, but you can see more from Denis in the Xara Art Gallery on xara.com.

Rik Datta (Rik) and Gary Bouton

Rik set himself the extraordinary challenge of replicating Gary Bouton’s 3D model of a flower in Designer Pro, just to prove he could! You can see the amazing result here and Gary’s original model below, and their discussion in this TalkGraphics thread. And you can see more from both Rik and Gary in the Xara Art Gallery on xara.com.

Paul Saumure (psaumure on TalkGraphics)

Regulars on TalkGraphics will recognize Paul’s elegant avatar, he first posted it in this thread in the Art Gallery Forum.

Andrew Wrigley (awrigley on TalkGraphics)

At first glance you might think this is a photo, but take a closer look and you will see some more stylized details - and if you still have some doubts check out the wireframe below. You can see the original post in TalkGraphics here, and plenty more great illustrations from Andrew in his portfolio in the Xara Art Gallery.
