Sci Fi art has gone downhill. Now it's gray powersuits with a little neon blue lights thrown in. It's so corprate and stale.
Mass effect esque generic corpo scifi aesthetic is so dreary. There was a glut of it even before “AI” was a thing, now it can be even more easily mass produced 😒
Now for where it’s really at, I hope to emulate even 1% of the style and inspired design of Jean Giraud/Moebius. He also was a big influence on Tom Parkinson Morgan/Abaddon, a current fantasy & scifi artist with a hugely unique style I love.
Halo aesthetics are dismal, too. It's more of than plus some more military bootlicking.
Big covenant aesthetic fan though. Iridescent purple everywhere
They were loaded with post-9/11 scratched liberal fear-of-religious-foreigners vibes, but that also made them neat.
Oh the “scary foreigner” coding vibes around the covenant? It’s bad, folks. The visual design of halo 2/3/reach covenant though? Some of my earliest motivation to pick up art. Always cared way more about the aliens than the ubiquitous jingoistic humans anyway.
