Retrospective!
Art happens in circles.
The digital art of the 90's, for the most part leaned toward smooth, electronically induced pieces, knit with webbings of computer unreality. But today, as technology advanced, subject matter is increasingly becoming retrospective. So many of the digital art pieces these days are harkening by to classical styles and subjects. Or classical styles and modern/fantasy subjects. Why? There's a number of reasons, ranging from the lack of technology in the 90's, to a different movement.
But that's the mystery of it, isn't it?
I’m not complaining, but I’m not rejoicing either. I’m just looking at this from an "outside" perspective as an artist that’s planning on entering a field of study where I hope to combine new technology with old-world values and vision (but being ultimately progressive at the same time).
Unfortunately, you got neither a brilliant revelation/epiphany, or an interesting tidbit, but simply Yet Another Nick Thought (Y.A.N.T. sounds like Rant, huh? That's the idea, folks).
