no matter how advance or real 3D graphic render will become... it just can't beat the human render art... its perfect. because it has flaws... even he use computer to paint his work, its just so amazing...

true that his work, as art, is beautiful. but from a filmmaking perspective, it still only represents concepts.
photoreal cgi is needed to realize his work in live-action, which is more interesting to me than looking at drops of digital paint and smudges that represent things.
in otherwords, people walk into a honda dealer wanting to buy a car - not a cool sketch of a car.

I agree, but what im trying to say is 3D CG redering is great, but it still need artist like him to produce concept, then use it as referece for 3D CG. Without talent like that, CG can look very cold and not life like. What im tring to say is software by it self just can't render lights like that, its almost like art form. It take a lots of hard work to get lights looking like that in 3D CG, because u can't jsut push a button for stuff like that in CG.

3d cg is the worst medium to use for concept art. it is also the slowest tool of all the visual digital tools.
however, it should be noted that 3d cgi is the best medium to use for live action previz.
and i agree - design is design. you should never like a concept just because of the medium it is expressed in. this works both ways - i see people stroke themselves over cool illustrations of stupid ideas all the time. in fact, entire films (and products/cars) get greenlit because of a cool-looking sketch that translates poorly in real life. you have to remain brutally honest with your tastes.
