Anyone can combine Flash Gordon serials, spaghetti westerns, and Kurosawa period films and come out with Star Wars, it happened all the time in the mid-70s! Likewise anyone can riff off 40s serials to generate Raiders of the Lost Ark and pff, Jaws is just Moby Dick, that's easy! Anyone with the money for the tool can just CRANK THOSE RIGHT ON OUT!

And I mean, if a visual artist is going to be informed by the sort of folks that usually awe them - let's say Wyeth, Tolouse Latrec, Leyendecker, Rockwell - then you can just REGURGITATE bits of Wyeth, Latrec, Leyendecker and Rockwell paintings in something vaguely like a coherent framework and it's basically better than some mere little underpaid peon who's wanted to do this since high school can possibly produce right?
