Well ... this'll be my links section, then!

A few sites I like to browse around as well, just for your entertainment ...

Friends, art and inspiration
Gothic WinterGothicWinter.com is an information site and forum (run by Ian Harvie, aka Nosferatu), including a gallery section and a small but friendly crowd of regulars!
Emma VieceliEmma Vieceli, TokyoPop Rising Stars Of Manga UK 1 runner-up and Manga Shaekspeare artist, is one very sweet lady that I've been lucky enough to chat to a few times at London Expo - her art is a gorgeous Western Manga shoujo style, well worth a look!
Laura Watton - 'Pink Apple Jam'Laura Watton is another of many lovely folk that I've met through SweatDrop Studios and London Expo, and another Rising Stars of Manga (UK 3) runner-up to boot! Her mix of old-school manga, girly shoujo and awesome zombie comics are more than win-worthy!
Hayden Scott-Baron - 'Deadpanda'Hayden Scott-Baron (aka Dock) ... another of the above, this time placing 2nd in RSoM UK 3! A very talented lad, with a fresh and original drawing style, very soulful storylines with the occassional hint of something darker.
Hannah Saunders - 'WanderingMuse'Hannah Saunders (aka Wandering Muse) ... another of 'em! Ridiculously talented for only 18, too! She placed 3rd in RSoM UK2, and her art is more than worth a look through!!
Rachel Saunders - 'Ciao Gatto'Rachel Saunders (aka Barukurii) does wonderfully atmospheric manga-influenced work, soft and girly witha bit of kick to it! This girl can draw ... I have watched and gawped first-hand. She's another RSoM place-holder, and twin to Hannah above ... not fair that both twins should be so talented!! XD
Sonia Leong - 'Fyredrake'Sonia Leong ... yet another of the above! 2nd place Winner in the first RSoM UK, Manga Shakespeare artist and SweatDrop Studios member, with far too much style to be healthy. ^_~ Wish I could manage Lolita gear ...
Selina Dean - 'NoddingCat'Selina Dean (aka Buuu) is another RSoM winner, placing 2nd in RSoM UK2. She has a very unique, manga-infuenced style, with "chibi" flavour running throughout! Her comics are very cute and quirky with a bit of bite to them, well worth checking out!
Joanna Zhou - 'Chocolate Pixels'Joanna Zhou (aka Scorpio) is another RSoM runner-up and very talented lady, whose manga-influenced art style inspired by all things Harajuku-esque and "kawaii" has landed her amongst other things with a commissioned series of gorgeous dolls at Momiji!
Nana Li - 'NanaRealm'The ridiculously talented and absolutely adorable Nana Li (aka Fuurin), 1st place winner of RSoM UK3! Her artwork is just absolutely impecable, no faults to be found whatsoever, and her comic-work is beautiful!
Vicki Paull &co - 'Bumblemoo Studios'Vicki Paull (aka Wikivic) has a wide collection of comics, 2D and 3D artwork displayed up here, in a very distinctive, cute and funky style! Her comics always make me smile! X3 I haven't had contact with the other contributors on the site, BaneMoo and Wren, but both of their works are very impressive and well worth a wander through!
Michael Doig - "Ubertango'Here's something a bit different! :D Ubertango is maintained by Michael Doig (aka Aci), a fellow Dundonian University student
BreehnBurns.com - One of my favourite comic artists, having drawn one volume of one of my favourite series, Gloom Cookie.
HenningLudwigsen.com - A truly inspirational digital artist ... I think I learnt more about painting in PhotoShop while reading through his tutorials than I had in about 5 years prior to checking them out.
JasonChanArt.com - More inspirational art, this time with a heavy Asian influence to it while still retaining beautiful realistic touches.
JDillon.net - I first came across this very talented lady's site several years ago, and it's been amazing to see how much she's grown as an artist. Absolutely astounding fantasy work, beautifully fresh and believable.
BROMart.com - What can possibly be said against BROM? Probably one of my favourite artists that I've ever come across.
VictoriaFrances.es - Absolutely stunning Gothic-inspired art.
Comics
SweatDrop StudiosSweatDrop Studios: the UK's largest and most successful independant manga group. I love these guys, as you may be abel to tell from this page alone! :D
Rainbow CarouselRainbow Carousel, created by Chloe Citrine (aka Wyldflowa), is quite possibly my favourite web-comic ever. It mixes together adorable characters, emphatic situations and a gorgeous graphic-y manga-inspired art-style to create something wonderful! Its creator is a right sweetie, too!
Willie Hewes ComicsI can't find an all-encompasing banner for Ms Willie Hewes, so this one will just have to make do! :D I'm linking to her here as her's is more a comic site than personal ... many things worth checking out here. I'm really looking forward to Amaranth being released in graphic novel form!
VampiratesDo I really need to write anything more than the name? VAMPIRATES! Vampires ... and pirates. Two of my favourite things! (Though I might possibly prefer Vamvikings, if that title would work ...)
SixKillerBunniesFehed Said and Shari Chankhamma (of The Clarence Principal fame at Slave Labour Graphics)'s collaborative comics site. Take a look. Nothing else needs to be said!
The AwakenedA quirky and wonderfully drawn comic, well worth checking out.
SkyfallSkyfall has been a favourite of mine for a very long time ... it's fairly slow to update, but there's at least a small graphic novel's worth on the site already, so no excuses to not read!
Misc Websites
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab - I have a small obsession with perfume oils, and I have to say that this is probably my favourite source! There's no shortage of choice, either. They make my three favourite scents ever: "Absinthe", "Destroying Angel", and the unfortunately discontinued "The Chilling Cellar". I love smelling "Death On A Pale Horse" on my boyfriend, too. ;) Difficult to navigate, but well worth it!
GothRosary.com - Another source of gorgeous perfume oils, as well as the jewellery stated in the title, obviously! "Graveyard", "Crypt", "Heathen" and "Nocturnal" are to die for ...
DracInABox.com - Hee hee ... can't go wrong with these guys, for all your über-goober clothing needs! ;)
Dinkybox.com - Great supplies for drawing manga! I love the Deleter pens that they stock.
MorbidOutlook.com - Another Goth staple. Great articles on ... just about everything!
ThinkGeek.com - Not much needs to be said. ;) Awesome t-shirts!
