I love Guweiz's art. His light and shadow manipulation is just...*chef kiss*
Beyond that though I guess I've not exposed myself to many extant artists, I've been too busy focusing on simple things like...drawing basic forms. Something to rectify in the near future then. Luckily, my fellow artists here have long lists of people to check out. :)

Tiffanie Mang - love her color studies
Thibault Prugne - very precise with watercolor, lovely illustrations
Luke Eidenschink - incredible line work
Luke Adam Hawker - loose and relaxed lines with ink

Great question! I would say:
Eric Bowman (https://www.instagram.com/ericbowmanart)
His work look great like they are painted in 19th century by impressionist;
Sean Murphy (https://www.instagram.com/seangordonmurphy)
I'm glad I'm reading his Batman, it's excellent as a story or artwork;
Cornelia Hernes (https://www.instagram.com/corneliahernesartwork)
She's oil-painting style is stunning, really inspires;
Mark Maggiori (https://www.instagram.com/markmaggiori)
His modern views of frontier characters and horses are mind-blowing;
Eliza (https://www.instagram.com/duck_twacy)
She's totally awesome artist and character designer;
Ryan Gajda (https://www.instagram.com/ryangajda)
It's pronounced "Guider" - as he says. his portraits are always stylish and original.

So many great artists! I‘ll add Laurent Durieux, because I haven’t seen him mentioned yet. He’s making the most amazing screen printed posters, which I love for composition and color. https://instagram.com/laurent_durieuxillustration

...I'm sure there's more female artists in the mix, but these were the ones on top of my head. ^.^
I'm inspired by dark, scary, fantasy-themed art, and there just seems to be more men doing that. Or am I completely wrong?
Quite a big list to be honest, few that come on top of my head Alan Lee, John Howe, Karl Kopinski, Bogdan Rezunenko. However big inspiration also comes from Hidetaka Miyazaki and his games.

Watching him draw is awe-inspiring and I love the way he describes drawing. He is "in" the drawings.
