    His shading is just superb. Peerless.

    Brilliant and very recognisable - but not peerless. Here's Philippe Caza, from 1978: https://lcart1.narod.ru/image/fantasy/philippe_caza/philippe_caza__le_temple_de_la_nuit.jpg

    I was referring to his use of lines at different densities to shade the figures, something I didn't quite see in the example you posted. I'd love to be found wrong and find out more artists with this talent, though.

    Ahh, I see what you mean. Yes, in that regard he was possibly the only true master. I know that this style of layering densities was taught at the time, but I don't think many artists brought it to a comparable level.
