>What elements do you like/dislike about splash art/promotional digital paintings?
Soul/soullessness issues. Something about them (and high res porn) just feel tacky and uninspired. I'm not sure if they all are soulless or if it's just association.

I think the only example of promo art I like is pic related, and that might well be because I have never seen it before on its own and I associate it with the song.
I think the core issue is that it doesn't have an underlying mood, or feel. The point of it is to just look cool and sell the product. It feels bland because of it.
