Was looking through my old book marks when I came across this artist and reminded me of this community

They have a ton of neat stuff from consoles to birds

Man, there are some really beautiful pieces on his site, thank you so much for sharing!

Yeah but it's so tricky to find and actually buy some of the ones I'm interested in. Looks like some are on one site and some on another but not all his pieces are available. And they're own site doesnt explain what you're buying if it's just a digital download or a print.

Is this one even for sale? I could not find it.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ah... Yeah, that's not super helpful :/ maybe an email or a message on social media could help? Regardless, that's a unfortunate issue

I'd love to do something like this for a job. How did they know that art like this would sell? The sceptic within me always dismisses this kinda stuff with the thought that nobody would pay for it.

Yeah I think it's more of if you build it they will come perhaps. I remember this big photo I really liked of a nikon film camera where the artist took macro pictures of each single piece and then combined it into a huge high resolution collage

Nice! Are these actual photographs or cgi?

[–] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

According to their reddit post it's photographs but not sure if they are all photographs or some photos and some are cgi since the artist has so much stuff like the birds so maybe just a specific collection is photos

I would not have guessed this was a photograph.
