It’s crazy to look at everything behind him and know that it was forged or cast by hand. This is an amazing photograph

What do you mean, cast by hand? Forged by hand? Large casting still happens pretty much like 2000 years ago.



Positively screams Metropolis

Made me think of Modern Times.




That wrench is comically large. I can see how he built those muscles


Trivia: This was used in the album artwork for Snakes and Arrows by Rush.

Dying Fetus’ Stop at Nothing used part of the image too



This made me think of Derek Zoolander


Every suburb Techno Disco Event in the 90ies.


Man, I swore this was AI based on his left thumb, but it’s real. I wonder why his thumb pad looks pointy like that.

It’s squeezed in between his palm and pointer finger.
