I think modern commercial illustration and concept art is very analogous to the European Renaissance, even when you consider the economic forces that fuel the artists involved with it. It gives me hope that it will be the beginning of a new era that will put an end to the artistic disgrace that is post-modernity. Do you agree?

Who are some good modern commercial illustrators and what tastes fuel them?

nah, in renaissance the final product was the art itself, patrons paid serious money for timeless, beautiful art
nowadays ilustration is supposed to be flashy and dispossable, and its only purpose is to help selling some other shit

No. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that you think that the world of commercial illustration revolves around sci-fi and fantasy artwork, which it doesn't. Illustration as an industry is so much larger than that, covering a much wider breadth of styles & subject matters. To suggest that generic digitally painting elf archers and space orcs is the epitome of illustration is naive and downright immature.

This is a profoundly dumb thing to say. You should be embarrassed.

Hey man, I hope so. Society will instantly improve when we acknowledge that beauty is good and shouldn’t be destroyed. I just hope I can still make what I’m into without getting left behind any more than I already am.

Not really. Sure the vidya industry pays money for skilled artists but it's just a step in an assembly line to create electronic video toys for children and adult children. It doesn't have the aesthetic and intellectual impact on culture itself that the humanist inspired art of the renaissance had.
