>>9325386Been a while since we had such a thread, nice.
>>9325595It's nice that someone else, actually appreciates this art, besides me.>Fastner and Larson

>>9325723
>>9325690I might post some stuff I have later, but most of it is on the external drive, so.
>>9326193
>>9325700Do you have Brom's more recent artwork? He's one of my favorites but I only have his work from 15+ years ago.
>>9326512I mostly have collected his older art.
>>9326513
>>9326522
>>9326651
>>9325690It's also funny to me, because some of this art was used for book covers for translated fantasy novels in my country. like these ones for sure>>9325386>>9325698
>>9327056Hey, i'd buy a fantasy book with a cover like that for sure. Have you seen some of the modern book covers we have floating around? It's either AI slop or some garbage. The enshittification is real. I want to go back!>Régis Loisel

Time to take a big sip of water and look at what Boris Vallejo's wife looks like.

>>9327059Books now cater to women anyway, but I guess there is an overlap, since bodice ripper and alike have sexy women on covers too.
>>9328043>Books now cater to womenI don't think that women enjoy AIsloppa art either. The hate for slop is universal with the exception of South Koreans and Indians who love that AIcrap for some reason.
>>9328120
>>9328184I am pretty sure i have the full art of the pic you just posted somewhere but i can't find it right now. My art folders are a mess.
>>9328184Found it.>Todd Lockwood
>>9328278>Olivier Ledroit
>>9328278Sick, now I can replace one of the many crappy jpgs I downloaded 100 years ago.

>>9328190>>9329324Don't upscale. It kills the canvas grain the originals have. Those are oil paintings and the upscaling removes the artifacts that come with that, makes them look fake.
>>9329330I know it hallucinates inner form detail, and I still prefer it over low-res jpg pixels.>canvas grainHa... unless you have 2K scans/photos of these images, you're not going to see any canvas or brush strokes.I'm not upscaling these mindlessly, nothing is lost because there was never anything there to begin with.
>>9328877Looks to be Gorean inspired.>>9329016And this looks like Brom's take on one classical painting.
>>9329332>you're not going to see any canvas or brush strokes.What are you talking about? You can see them in all the images with the exception of the few that are watercolor and even there you can see the paper or the sketch lines. Stop with the slop. Go be an asshole in another thread. I specifically asked for no AIslop when i made this thread. If you don't stop, i will.
>>9327067Obviously animated in AI. Asked Grok for a prompt I could use in H3 to animate this (light breathing, camera zoom, etc).Always wanted to see these pictures come to life.
>>9325386Frank Frazetta — the foundational style: muscular dynamism, oil‑painted drama, and the “heroic/sexual fantasy” aesthetic that shaped the entire field.Boris Vallejo — hyper‑realistic anatomy, glossy surfaces, and idealized heroic figures with a sensual tone.Luis Royo — erotic, dystopian, and apocalyptic imagery blending fantasy, sci‑fi, and sensuality.Dorian Cleavenger — surreal erotic fantasy, often provocative and controversial, aligned with the NSFW side of the genre.Brom — darker, gothic fantasy with macabre elegance and ominous atmospheres.Clyde Caldwell — classic Dungeons & Dragons heroic fantasy, bright colors, and clean, iconic character design.Simon Bisley — muscular exaggeration, heavy metal aesthetics, and comic‑book dynamism.Richard Corben — surreal, muscular, exaggerated forms with a unique, almost sculptural rendering style.

>>9330024Can't say that I find these clankgirls sexy, but art itself is rather cool.
>>9328877Mercenario was a pretty good comic.
>>9325386Have any useful links for tracking down the art like this? Galleries, or whatever else.
>>9334701Artist seems familiar... Some of his stuff was for sure on those translations of fantasy novels I mentioned, including one with visable boner, no less. Guy holding female angel, or maybe male angel holding a woman...
Would Calm count in this category?
>>9336523Who?
>>9325715Is that Harry Fucking Flashman lmao
>>9336523That's far more recent, so I think no.

>>9337207He used to be a big deal when I was young, so by nowadays standards he should be considered old. But I wonder if he'd be old enough to be considered a western classic now or not yet.
>>9337677No, sorry. This is *modern digital art*. Not only that but it feels off. His light sources are all over the place, the same goes for his perspective and object geometry.
