I recently stumbled on this guy's deviantART page, and I was floored. He has amazing talent.

Here are some particularly mind blowing drawings of his [risque, NSFW warning]:

He's pretty good, but all his pics are referenced. I'm not saying he's a scrub, but when you're working from a photo reference, quite probably on top of it, if he has a lightboard or works digitally, such photorealism isn't super-ultra impressive. The few non-reffed pics he has uploaded are of far lower quality.

You can tell a true talent by their ability to draw sans-reference, or compose from a multitude. Guys like Alexius or James Gurney. This guy is good, but his work has little soul.

He's very good, but there are actually quite a lot of similarly talented artist around if you look.

I'm always vaguely disappointed when I see people like this just doing portraits and movie scenes etc... I mean they've clearly got the mechanics and skills down. They really cant think up something fascinating and original and creative to show the world?

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

As other stated, nothing worthy of attentions, it has been done and it has been done better, and most importantly, it is not something impressive.

Aside from that, the tits on the last pic look awful

I disagree. While he was drawing using a reference, the time and commitment he put into mastering his technique is something to be impressed about. Even though many others have done what he's done, and many others are "better" than him, I think it's still worth noting. I made this topic having only seen just the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks sob3k for showing me those other artists. I especially love rajacenna's drawings.

The technique is indeed impressive, but it will never ever compare to other works of art that aren't so heavily dependent on reference/

E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.
