Oh this poor guy, his style is a major inspiration for slop, the lighting and coloration screamed diffusion model.

Which sucks for people that actually create their own art that falls into a category that was used to train with. They get accused of slop when it isn't. Makes filtering difficult too.

That completely tracks for the way tech was conceptualized back in the sci-fi heydays. I'm going with this
