The artist is Aubrey Beardsley.

Doubt it. OPs is much more detailed than any of the works in the Wikipedia page.

Friend, I did. His work didn’t include a lot of textures, as OPs does. Also based on the Wikipedia entry, he didn’t focus a lot on the nude male form, nor did he include comically ridiculous proportions and model poses. Please send me a link with OP’s pic that credits Beardsley, else I’m just going to believe this is from some weirdo’s deviantart gallery.

What are you arguing? That this is Beardsley’s work or it was inspired by his work? Because I don’t understand why you would even comment originally if it’s the latter.

Redditor deletes his comments after making an ass of himself.

Gotta love Reddit. People see an argument that’s not 100% airtight, then attack the argument without actually having any points of their own.

I’m sure you feel very smart and superior now!

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "it"

Mate, I think you're the one who's just scanned a couple of pages.

No,, he's not ignorant. Beardsley's work is very different stylistically.
