The Art Thread

Merged anyway, great thread. Some real amazing stuff in the earlier pages, particularly that 19th century Romantic style stuff.
 
Don't care if you dislike the fictional universe that inspired it, but this picture is awesome.

The probable first (and first "draft" of a piece) in a series:

"Monument M.I." (monotype)

A new version of this piece already exists, I'll likely get a good shot of it today.
 
Bumping this with a few great Civil War era photographs...

I'm really getting into the work of Luis Royo and Victoria Frances. I've bought Royo's best of book and Frances' Favole 1 to start me off. I realise that a lot of Victoria Frances' fans will be whiney emo girls but I genuinely like her work.

From what I've seen so far, this is my favourite painting by Royo.
