At the amateur level I'm at now, I would end up crying if I attempted to put that much detail in my paintings.

Is art your hobby then? If so, what medium(s) are you into?

Right now, watercolors and pastels.

Edward Hopper. He knows better than any artist the colors of loneliness.

I tried watercolours, they are so hard, and you can't paint over them! The aquarelle pencils are good; then you at least have control over where the colour goes. But I use mostly acrylics.

Here are some of my favorite cinematic artists of all time.

Jim Henson and Frank Oz: probably the greatest puppeteers the world has ever seen.
Brian Froud, who provided concept art for Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Jack Kinney, who headed the Goofy unit at Disney, and Jack Hannah, who headed the Donald unit.

Otto Messmer, who worked on the original Felix the Cat cartoons in the 1920s. They're simple but funny, and none of the Felix the Cat cartoons that followed after have ever come close to achieving the charm and brilliance of the originals.

Sylvain Chomet: director of The Triplets of Belville.

Hayao Miyazaki: director of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howle's Moving Castle.

Escher, of course (have tried to do a couple of his pics, modeled the 'Klimmen und Dallern' house, but of course it doesn't line up, any more than the 'relativity' model did....sigh...
Did manage to model the 'roll ups', more or less. Was fun...

Alphonse Mucha - something very calming about their pictures . Would love to do something like that, but don't have any hair models that can duplicate the (no pun intended.. French curves.

Hopper - did a takeoff of Nitehawks, but didn't really get enough attention.

Heironymous Bosch (have had days like that)

Edward Cole (I think)- Smithsonian has a series of 4 paintings of the stages of Life. Likes 'em, lots...
