Turn up your speakers and prepare to be creeped. This is my favorite site design ever. ^^

wow, that site was gorgeous! he has an awesome style. very reminiscent of Roman Dirge only a little more sophisticated and clean looking. i can see that place being an awesome source for inspiration when you're looking for ideas.
Nethersphere by Stephanie LostimoloAimee MajorSarah Gross: Lady of DragonsHere are a few more sites i was just recently reminded of. Stephanie Lostimolo has a very interesting anthropomorphic style and creates some of the most gorgeous landscapes i've ever seen. Unfortunately she took the majority off her work off of her site the last time she redesigned it. It has an excellent arcane feel to it.
Aimee Major's artwork was very intstrumental in my learning how to draw anime. some of her pieces are really brilliant, and i'm very envious of her talent. on her site (which is currently a little girly for my liking) she has a gallery of the different incarnations her site once had, which are really fun to look at.
Sarah Gross's site is really a lot of fun and when i was going through my fantasy phase she was pretty much my god. Her art site has a very playful energy to it and easily balances aesthetic appeal with functionality and easy navigation. her main site has a portfolio of web design projects she's done, also showing her skill are somewhat diverse. if you're having trouble with layouts, looking at Sarah's site should help spark something for you
