Vampires and Male Gaze.
One of my favorite Royo collections. No science fiction art this time; all fantasy, and dark fantasy at that. Mostly women, and not the obvious "pin-up" style that I find so distracting. Some of these pieces approach photo-realism, without feeling artificial.
Not his best work, but it's Royo, so the benchmark is high and there's still lots of great imagery. Mostly women in muted grey, with my favourites being Grey Over a Greyer Grey and Dark. A short story of a master painter and an apprentice weaves throughout the book in the style of Poe, or perhaps Pickman's Model by Lovecraft.
Of all the collections released of Luis Royo works, this collection is not among my favorite. It was a mixed bag for me. The art was stunning ( I expected nothing less from master painter like Royo), but the layout of the pages felt messy to me. So it might be more of a issue it made looking/reading the book less enjoyable for me. Non the less I'm happy to have it in my collection.
Beautiful gothic imagery! One of my favorite artists.
