Another style test. I know this is very very Toppi. Toppi for me has become one of those artists whose work gels so well with where I wanted to go but didn't really realise until I saw it. It only happens occasionally. Most times you appreciate awesome artists from a general admiration of their skill and overall awesomeness sense, but it is only occasionally that you see work that you feel deep down that that's what you have been looking for and heading towards the whole time ih your own work, except you didn't know it. I guess that's where the strong influences come into play. I've never really had an artist whose work really affected me in this way except maybe with Moebius and Mullins. Winslow Homer and some of Zdislaw Brzinski's stuff also has that feel for me.
I will try and bring more of my own design sense into future tests (well at least in terms of theme hopefully) but his approach is so awesome and it fits perfectly with my own way of working that I find it hard not to ape. Well first ape, then innovate....that's the goal anyway.
