Comment on Opey Page 6 aka The Connection by cluedog
Beautiful stuff Zac. So Idiosyncratic of you. In my opinion you have fashioned your own style, a signature that is recognizable. I could see your art in a line up, and distinguish which is your work (I believe).
Really great work here.
Really great work here.
Thanks, Fladam!
I strive to be different in my work. Admittedly, it's a hard road to travel, because people tend to adore the familiar or that which is already established. It can disheartening at times, really.

I totally agree, which is why I love the way you create imagery. Many folks try to replicate other artists styles, and although we are all inspired and influenced, I think individualism is crucial. Artists like Michael Turner (RIP), Adam Hughes, Kevin O'Neil, Eddie Campbell (From Hell) all have incredibly distinct styles which are different and distinguished.
Actually, I guess the late Mike Turner is less different now because so many other artists have mimicked his style, but he did set a precedent for younger artists to base their blossoming styles upon. Consciously or sub.
Point is that with a saturated market, being great at art isn't enough to get noticed anymore. Being great and distinctive is the only way to get acknowledged. Which is why I see you going far because you are distinct and unique. Your work on Opey is superb
