[QUOTE="Mystery Man, post: 1401813, member: 13273"] Spikes, punk, goth, peircing... If you look at the styles of 2E you see a lot of bad 80's haircuts. The art reflects on the trends of the times. 10 years from now the art will retro back to the bad haircuts of the 80's. :) I think you need to give the artists of today a bit more credit where credit it is due.
