It’s true, traditional art is slowly becoming sacred from the viewpoint of a contemporary artist. Why…? Well, it’s chock-full of hidden but invaluable lessons that the old masters were kind enough to impart through each individual masterpiece. As Efflam Mercier once said, if you’ve got a problem, odds are that a great artist has already resolved it in a painting from long ago. In Greg’s case, this was about learning to adopt the abstraction of certain shapes, like the people in two of his famous pieces—”Revolution” and “Castle Defence.” He also managed to reignite a portion of our community’s passion for traditional art, and you’ll notice that this style is popping up on ArtStation’s homepage a lot more nowadays.
Greg has been able to find new clients and even posted his Photoshop brush pack + tutorials on ArtStation for us! So, if you’re a fan of his work then look forward to learning more about his unique art style, the new work for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, and finally, how the people behind ANNO 1800 made his dream of commercializing his “risky” approach into an incredibly successful reality.
