Not evrything could be rated as stand out works. Like Geo said, most of them are like ‘as in a world of no heaven’ features. Yes, expecting more good collections, with a variety of moods depicted within.
Amazing works. Very inspiring.

Really Mind Blowing Arts.
I don’t think concept art should only convey distress, anxiety and dreadfulness. This works of art show great technique but put my mind in an uncomfortable state.
Just my opinion.
Really amazing pieces! Some of them are really old already maybe for interested people some newer pieces can be found on my website.
