Cliche.

cliche how?

>>2927773

>>2927810
Please get better taste.

Watch your tongue, boy. He's the one who created the cliche.

This is the guy who should be given the type of praise Giger gets.

Poor mans Beksinski

>>2928025
He is more competent than Beksinski.

Certainly not at rendering or composition.

Design is so esoteric at that level I'm willing to leave it up to subjective impressions

you ALL ARE DIGITAL SCUM. THIS DUDE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE US FEEL IN OUR CHEST with physical paint. worlds abound and complexities arise from culture to ritual to rule. there is ambiguity and concreteism.

i feel this thought but it is a nice departure from bekinski. his creatures seem more like theyve built societies

Great stuff. Love his Inferno/hell things. Especially when he goes all- out with the weirdness

I guess I'm a pleb for arrogant atists here, this is my first time posting on this board. I think his Inferno is great, pic related made me learn about him.

>>2927773
he good

I own his inferno book, his guide to extraterrestrial and pacific rims artbook.

His monster designs range from god-tier to boring/awful. A huge inspiration.

Comparing themstic/atmospheric paintings to monsters and dinosaurs?

Are you fucking inept?
