He may not have been going for accuracy or even a high level of realism, but he never positioned himself as a "great" artist, just someone who loved to paint, and loved to show others how to do it, too.
But c'mon, it's 4chan, the home of the autists and the try hards, who have to shit on him and his career, to make themselves feel good, because their own shitty attempts at art don't. Who will waddle back here and demand I "Show my art" for saying that, because they're obnoxious little turds who Loomis would have called assholes, if he'd ever run into them.
