Did you know that you’re allowed to make real-world acrylic art that looks like a glitchy Playstation game from the early 00s????

Julius Hofmann from Germany makes drawings from a fictional computer game. Many more pictures on his portfolio site (Note: later years’ work gets more adult/explicit).
The above artwork is similar to the work of an artist I featured previously, Lulu Lin:
Late 90’s aesthetic from Romanian artist Lucian Prună:
