Like I said, I like his art. He's just exaggerating much...
And, from my 3D experiance, he's working with 3D MODELS and MATERIALS... If you check the paints with a "lupa" (magnifying-glass), you will notise repeatedly SPECIFIC details on each material, the textures are TOO MUCH photorealistic in some parts and LESS in other parts; and the HUMAN BODY has by far LESS details, comparing with the outfits.
Infact, the human body looks like "blurr" in some parts...
Anyway... NO MATTER what technique you using (this is the 21th century AD, not... Michelangelo or Rafaelo's age!), his work gives GREAT resaults; and THAT's the whole point of an illustration... For example, my uncle is a classic painter, I took my first "foot-steps" close to him and he's accusing my "new" technique, of making my paints in digital format directly. But, I'm saving TONES of time and the resaults of mine, an oil-color painter would need LOTS of hours to make the same... So, it's all about personal needs... Also, I met several good Comuter Graphics designers. Very few could make similar illustrations... Having/using an F-18 Hornet, doesn't mean that you can beat the opponent. You MUST know HOW to use it and HOW to make the plane reach its "limits"...
(And... if someone CAN, let's copy his technique! Can anybody do that?)
