As per postwork, I think the stigmata here is that people want as realistic as possible. But, if someone takes their skills and knowledge to other worlds, these "unrealistic" renders can be some of the most beautiful. Your art is awesome, wetbanana.
I do give kudos to the guys at NWDA - their realistic renders are some of the consistently best on the site, though (of course) not the only ones. TU's recent render is fantastic, for instance.
