Wtf. Dude time travels and that’s what he decides to do?
To be fair, we do have everything else well under control.
Uhhh…
He died in 2013 and one of his last works, from 2008, still has that uncanny feeling to it.
This is so cool. Almost has a collage feel to it with the different lighting angle and level of detail of each item
Painted by small paint dots replicating the pixel that would come later.
What the hell, you were not exaggerating. This is actually uncanny.
Is it the stupidly flat lighting, simple geometry with perspective and pointillism that makes it look like old 3d?
Not just the painting itself but body anatomy and mechanics (albeit frozen in one snapshot) and such also resemble computer games, wow this is some seriously trippy shit.
he must have painted Xavier Renegade Angel
This is kind of amazing.
I’m assuming this was done with heavy use of masking, possibly airbrush, and maybe other painting media? It “feels” like a collage, where every subject is just its own painting kind of composited into the whole. But that gives us completely subjective lighting to work with, which throws our senses for a loop. Just like how old computer graphics are collages of other discrete artworks, again, with no effort wasted on coherent lighting or shadows.
