I am truly in awe of artists who can do works of this detail, and I would include artists of graphic novels, manga and many other genres also. I can barely follow the detail looking at it expanded on my screen, let alone in my minds eye.
Thanks for posting, @Chomsky
that’s delicious.
They are very China Mielville-esque
Ooh yeah! New Crobuzon perhaps?

Thanks, I just realized they made that into a mini series!!! Must look it up as soon as…..
Makes me think of ‘Gormenghast’. Strange, beautiful books….
The illustrated hardback trilogy was on offer on Book Depository recently. Got two.
Do you mean Perdido St, Scar and Iron Council?
If so, I see an addition to the wish list…..
(Off to look that up now, I have a 10% off code too…. :) )
Awesome talent.
