Interesting. I would have said this is a Jacek Yerka for sure

[–]piglizard 0 points1 point ago

Except this is digital.

[–]davebrown57 0 points1 point ago

Coulda fooled me.

[–]randomb0y -2 points-1 points ago

The surrealism is reminiscent of Yerka's works, but otherwise pretty different styles IMO.

I was hoping this was going to be from a video game so I could hunt it down and play it immediately.

How big is this painting? It's really beautiful. Reminds me somewhat of Josh Keyes artwork. Link: http://www.joshkeyes.net/

I love this

[–]dieyoufool3 -4 points-3 points ago

you didn't make this though... it's a very popular wallpaper.

[–]comehonor[S] 19 points20 points ago

if you look to your far right under the word Art it says "All things art related. Post what inspires you!" not "only post OC or die!"

[–]CobraStallone 14 points15 points ago

Yeah, do try to put the artist's name on the post though.

[–]subliminal_upvote 7 points8 points ago

In OP's defense, the artist's name is at the bottom-right corner of the image. Obviously doesn't change the fact that he should have included it in the title.

[–]dieyoufool3 0 points1 point ago

that's what I meant, if it isn't in the title it holds the notion its there's

[–]comehonor[S] -2 points-1 points ago

its in the other comment
