@mym Oh wow, I saw the name, but wasn't able to find any relevant search results for it; thank you for the context!

@SnekSqueezer I vaguely feel like that's when "big curvy talon-legs that are half the size of the character" had a particular blossoming but honestly it might've just been when they crossed my path more often (or I might be remembering it wrong altogether)

that's a compliment

this seriously looks like 2010s fetish art

WAIT omg I just realised the cosplayer in the photo is cosplaying ONE OF HIS PAINTINGS.

for the record, the art that made me look for this guy is *exactly* what you would hope from the photo

oh my god; I went looking for examples of art by George Barr, and found a cropped artist photo that I extremely wanted to see more of, and: wow the full view does NOT disappoint
