Nicolas Dehghani Illustrations

Today, we had to pass along the work of French illustrator Nicolas Dehghani. His work reminds me of something you might see in the concept art of an animated movie. Why is it that concept art is always so much cooler than the actual animations? I love that Dehghani sticks to a limited color palette within his work; it makes it that much more striking. His use of texture also brings these characters to life and each piece seems to tell an epic story.
