Anyone else love this 80s/90s retro style of fantasy art?

Something just nostalgic about it. It's awesome.

It reminds me of a time where people didn't care about being objectified or stereotyped. It allowed artists to create heroic men and sexy women in crazy fantasical environments and people just loved how awesome it was.

Nowadays you make a girl with large boobs and ass with a thin waist and you get hambeasts charging at you with their forks from dinner time.

Who the fuck wants the hero of a story to be some fatass when you can have an actual hero look fucking ripped and stand 9 heads tall.

Hard to predict these sort of things as you're living in it.

>>2438594
Anything in particular?

Personally I think one of the more interesting art history reactions was Abstract Expressionism. I'm not a fan of the movement myself, however it was a reaction to the movements that came out of the Great Depression, most notably Social Realism. It's fun sometimes to read up on history and trace the lines of the event/movement -> reaction.
