Venice is great, but once you hit the Buddhist temple onwards that game is magic, especially Floating Islands.

Your style of drawing, you'd knock either of them out of the park

Styracosaurus, or Ankylosaurus

A little Siskin :) 🎨

The answer is always dinosaurs

Shellac 1000 Hurts cover: says that and PROFESSIONAL on a red/brown split background

Scott 3 by Scott Walker album cover: Scott rests his hand on his chin as he is trapped in a ladies eye with nice eyelashes

Faith No More - Angel Dust album cover: an angry looking huge bird on a dark blue background

Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia album cover: painting by Mark Ryden of Alice as a little girl presenting a weird baby lizard thing to a 4 armed guy sat on a mushroom. Who needs oxygen from a tank.

Another one I though of is QRP your favourite album covers from an artistic point of view, I did a review of Scott 3 this evening and that one owns, as do these. Also 1000 Hurts has the best drum sound ever recorded.

Brown striped Bawitius

Another interesting fish from the Kem Kem - Bawitius! This is a 3m-long bichir, a group of fish I wasn't familiar with until starting this piece. Today, members of this group don't get more than a meter in length, and are apparently popular in aquariums!

Oh Hell yeah. Receive that and see how much better the art/stories are from the UK, the US were just phoning it in.

tfwiki.net/wiki/Target:...
The UK art from that era had so much influence on me

With TF comics of that era, you want Target:2006 leading up and through the 86 movie, which starts in the UK ones about issue...80 or so, then up to about 130. It's all downhill after that.
The UK art/storylines were worlds ahead of the US ones

Think I paid about £6 for the UK issue 22 about 15 yrs ago off ebay for the ARE ALL DEAD Shockwave cover because I think it's one of the greatest covers of all time

Oof on price, but yeah. The UK Transformers comics were great up to about...issue 200, then Marvel UK slashed the budget so it went back to mostly reprints or black & white, been a while. We trashed the actual comics once I found them all digitally.

quick story: author I know hired a graphic designer. Graphic designer used AI assets. Author did not want this. Author realized close deadline that thing was AI. Author needed something not AI to replace this, and didn't have time so close to deadline to get a custom work or vet stuff. What do now?
