I wonder if anyone has work doing the style of medieval/renaissance woodcuts for movies. A lot of us have probably noticed that medieval books in horror movies have illustrations that look like they came out of a '90s DnD manual. You'd think there'd be someone who'd specialise in doing illustrations in a believably medieval style - especially since these old woodcuts are so creepy.

Here is a contemporary artwork that does a good job of replicating the old woodcut style, by artist
Thomas Shahan..
