The Art Thread

[ForeverMetal]

I once did an essay on why i love art and one of the things I mentioned was "its not just there looking pretty ,taking up space, but it inspires". (was for art history)

Love surreal art and 3D art. I have about 35 favorite artists and even tried design in college.

The Empyrean

[PanzerKunt]

The blood looks lame.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Your avatar looks lame.

 

[PanzerKunt]

My avatar looks and is awesome!

 

[Zephyrus]

Agreed. Much more badass than a custom South Park character.

I love his illustrations.. masterpieces... if no one has noticed before Emperor used his illustrations for the cover and back cover of the Anthems/Welkin album... They sell books of his works on Amazon.com ... One of these days I will buy one of them especially for his Paradise Lost ones...

 

[The Ozzman]

The Empyrean is awesome.

Uh...the most prominent usage of Dore for Emperor is the rider on the the Emperor EP. As The Shadows Rise is also Dore.
