Is this REAL???

I have great admiration for people who are willing to push their abilities to the limits. The two pictures here in this post are by far the most impressive form of art I have ever come across.




The pic on top is a picture of a model, Tica who isn't quite known to me until I discovered this pic.

Believe it or not that isn't even a photo. IT'S JUST A FREAKING PAINTING!!! There call this Photorealism. According to the artist Dru Blair who kind of specializes in this form of art, it took him 65-75 hours to complete. I see no imperfections in this artwork that can confirm otherwise but still its freaking hard to believe that it's just a painting. Head over to his website to confirm my outrageous claims!



Ahh, one of my favourite Korean actresses, "......." isn't real here either!! The pic on top generated up to 5000+ diggs on Digg. Try to guess who's she. She doesn't look exactly like the real person but if I give you a clue, she acted in Full House, yes the one with Rain.




She's Song Hye Kyo!!

The pic is computer modeled from scratch in 3ds Max and Zbrush. Though it looks close to a real photo, the eyes and smile sort of give it away that its computer modeled.

But still, its by far the most realistic 3d model of a human ever to be created by this genius>>>>
