rapoza is a boring boomer, and all his work is boomer tier shit polishing. Yes, he renders well, but all his topics are basically his childhood memories - TMNT, Power Rangers, Legend of Zelda. Potential wasted on boring subjects, boomer doesn't even watch or read something new, he stopped getting his visual library in check a long time ago.

Please tell us about your highly inspired sources of inspiration. I bet your childhood memories from ~2016 are much more interesting than stuff like "TMNT, Power Rangers, Legend of Zelda".

"Baby boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born between 1946 and 1964."

Dave was born in 1987 so he's about 23 years too young to be a baby boomer, you dumb fuck kid.

I don't even care about his art. Just pointing out how stupid your comment is.
