Line weight. Perspective. The tilting of the head. Expression. Volume.

This early Modern human knew exactly what we learn to this day in order to create the illusion of life in 2d art.

Whoever they were, I admire them as much as every other great master.

people reading fantasy novels ask “why did the ancient ones seal the evil away for ten thousand years instead of just killing it” but then we go ahead and do this shit

It was intended to do good, but the programmer made a mistake and it got out of hand, becoming viral.
