Thinking of Jim Hensons's Labyrinth...but failing at the attempt to construct a whole complex Escherlike illusion...so just a little visual fooling around...Great submissions, guys! Your work looks awesome!

As for now I choose as Masters in perspective with their painterly approaches the watercolorist Thomas W. Schaller who let's tight perspectives appear loose and lightly through his watery technique, then the incredible James Gurney who btw studied architecture before embarking on his (Gurney- ;-))journey as an artist; for their precise yet still free lineart: Jean Giraud AKA Moebius and Bernie Wrightson, who's breathtaking hatching techniques add depth to whatever subject.
I am very much interested in how to construct complex perspectives with several vanishing points due to slopes and curves inthe landsape, size relationships especially in mass scenes like sceneries by Moebius.
Wonderful episode! Thanks for that!!
Concerning "photographing your artwork" I find this blogpost by Fantasy Artist Dan Dos Santos on "Muddy Colors" very helpfull:

Wow! This episode was such a blast! I'm from Germany and we had indeed a copy of the "shock-headed-Peter" ("Struwwelpeter") as kids. It was written in 1844 by Heinrich Hoffmann who was a doctor and psychatrist.
I don't think we ever thought it was funny...but in an eery way creepy.
I grew up mainly on franco belgian Comic book artists who I adore so much.
Moebius, Régis Loisel, André Franquin, Peyo, Hergé of course and Uderzo...
German Cartoonists I adored were Rolf Kauka and later (after the reunion) the East German Comicbook series "Die Abrafaxe" byLoni Rietschel, today by Jörg Reuter and a small team (it's an ongoing comic book series that is still running since 1976).
Thanks for that episode! I could as well spand a lifetime in Comic books.
