Wow, they are really really weird/cool.

It's unbelievable !

 

those are really awesome

they all looks like pics but the big fat guy

 

thats really erie..

 

The nose area is quite obvious that it was painted.. but wow, that's a really really good job!

 

I think there all fake... Impossible.

 

No way...

 

Exactly, I can't believe any of you believe this crap.


8everything your a designer.... you think this is real?! Come oN!

 

WOW, haven't they heard of a digital camera, so much time they could have taken 1000's pic's in that time (sarcasm)

 

I've seen really realistic paintings in art galleries, and don't say they're fake 'cause it's not even privately owned.

I'm a designer.. exactly artists and designers are different

 

I think some of these "paintings" (if they are real) were digitally enhanced. No way that brushwork and paint could have produced some of those pictures.

 

I posted this thread...

but at this point, i am not sure its a Painting by seeing this Picture

 

Ok there different, but I'm talking about Photoshop wise.. Don't you think these can be done in photoshop to trick people there real paintings?

Exactly as I was thinking.

 

Haha, I don't know if they're real or not, but I like the sculpture of the sideways head...

 

Lol add a bit of a blur or airbrush the skin a bit, but no this can be done by hand!

 

I enjoyed looking at them and reserve judgement.

 

wow, thats nice. Its look too perfect, no comment because I never see someone painting like that. I think 2nd picture not a painting.

 

If you pick up an art magazine, you'll see genre of artists who specialize in super realistic paintings. But, I agree. I tend to wonder what the point is, too, unless you're painting something that would be hard to capture on film in real life -- like the painting of the bomber over the lake.

 

I've seen a lot of really good paintings and never seen anything even remotely close to that. I highly doubt that someone painted these. To perfect the intricacies of the face in such fine detail would take years and years and someone would have known that someone was doing this.

 

I've seen paintings like that before. It's really interesting.
