Looks like an evil anime character before they get revealed.

Was gonna say it reminds me of diavolo's stand

Reminds me more of Heavy Weapons Guy in Team Fortress 2.

Ohh so that's where the album art for KEN Mode's album "Loved" came from! https://kenmode.bandcamp.com/album/loved

Wow it's straight up the painting. Right on there.

Well, they're far from the only ones having done that. For example, the cover for Dimmu Borgir's ‘For all tid’ is an engraving by Gustave Doré, slightly tweaked, and in later re-releases also colorized.

But presumably KEN Mode paid for the usage, considering they credit the artist in the release notes.

I didn't know that, and they're one of my favorite bands. Cool.

Anyway, at least they made it a little bit different.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Eh, why alter that which is perfect.
