To be honest I don't like art like that. It's just seems like it's trying too hard to impress. Orange and blue, sheer cliffs, huge storms, sunsets, multiple lightning strikes at once, flag in one hand, sword in the other, jewel encrusted armor, it just seems like it's throwing out all the stops to get me to look at it, and the effort that went into making it shows more profoundly than any actual feature on the image, and only serves to push me away.

I unironically like Frazetta's work, though. Stuff like pic related would be ideal, but it's a fool's hope.

What are some other stories with this terrifying, merciless, deterministic science-fiction-of-the-historical æsthetic?

What are the best books on Napoleon Bonaparte?
Is there any difference between the books "Napoleon the Great" and "Napoleon: A Life"?

ITT, we list some ideas, literary movements, themes, etc. that we are interested in, and posters recommend books that encapsulate the spirit of the aforementioned.
(we just had this thread, i know)
Things I like:
>Joe R. Lansdale
>Crime fiction ( focused on the criminals, not a detective, like the comic Stray Bullets)
>Historical fiction
>Martin McDonagh

A book I would like is:

What are you writing with?

Pen or pencil on paper? What brands do you use? Or do you type everything? What software do you use?
