Mass effect esque generic corpo scifi aesthetic is so dreary. There was a glut of it even before “AI” was a thing, now it can be even more easily mass produced 😒
Now for where it’s really at, I hope to emulate even 1% of the style and inspired design of Jean Giraud/Moebius. He also was a big influence on Tom Parkinson Morgan/Abaddon, a current fantasy & scifi artist with a hugely unique style I love.
I miss the prog rock style airbrushed fantasy art
You should check out Ten Earth Shattering Blows. Abaddon broadcast it on Twitter some time ago. Weird fantasy, Moebius inspiration in the artwork
Halo aesthetics are dismal, too. It's more of than plus some more military bootlicking.
Big covenant aesthetic fan though. Iridescent purple everywhere
They were loaded with post-9/11 scratched liberal fear-of-religious-foreigners vibes, but that also made them neat.
Oh the “scary foreigner” coding vibes around the covenant? It’s bad, folks. The visual design of halo 2/3/reach covenant though? Some of my earliest motivation to pick up art. Always cared way more about the aliens than the ubiquitous jingoistic humans anyway.
