HOLY SHIT. Someone posted it in the image dump, but it deserves a thread here.
 
lies. There's no way this is legit.

I guarantee if you put this man in a room by himself with just an airbrush, paint, and a canvas that he would not be able to recreate it.

Nobody can do this amount of detail. I refuse to believe it.

If something is too good to be true, it usually is.
 
No way. No ****ing way.


This one is a painted one, but here you can see the trails of it.

I still don't believe it, I'd need to see a video of it before I did.
 
I don't know... 70 hours is a long time to perfect something. I still call shens.
 
I say its fake. Look at the details, he even got right the lighting and reflections on the lips...
 
I'd say it's real...just because it's never been done so well doesn't mean it's impossible. With enough skill and dedication, it may be doable.
 
It would help if we could see the original picture in the same res so we could spot differences.
 
Its real. Its being published in a airbrushing magazine with a step by step.
 
I'm absolutely stunned by the fact that this isn't electronic art. With that, you have the convenience of layers and many detailed brushes. But he airbrushed it all, all on one 'layer'. Astonishing.

So basically you're saying that since it's been published it must be true; as if nothing that has ever been published has ever been false.

Even if he did air brush this, I still stand by my statement that there is more to the ingredients than: him, airbrush, airbrush paint, canvas.

There has to be something else.
 
It's quite a small canvas too. Usually these are huge, then when you see a small photo they look 10x better.

I'd still say it's real though.

An eraser and a coloured pencil too. ;)

I dunno, I reckon it's real seeing as the magazine has step-by-step pictures of it.
 
First one is an all out fake, second one is dumbed down from a photo to look painted but still a fake

Its an airbrushing magazine. Its not like they wouldnt be able to spot a phony when airbrushing IS their thing. Besides, if they have a step by step process, how in the world could you deny it when he shows you how he did it?

And yeah, theres more than just an airbrush, theres x-acto knives and other such tools. Also theres his experience as an artist who owns a studio where he does this as his job, lectures students and who does this on his own free time. Hes developed techniques which he used to get some of the detail, and he spent 70 ****ing hours on it. The whole thing was pretty a complete painting after 7 or 8 hours. Then he spent 60 or so doing the small details. I dont see why its that hard to comprehend. Give any artist the time and drive to work this much on a piece that is considered "finished" and i bet we could get a lot more of these from other people.

All the car magazines reported on the Corvette Blue Devil being a reality last year; when in reality a bunch of guys just dressed up a stock z06 in non-functioning cheap hand-made parts. Yea, magazines can be fooled.

His step by step is the biggest joke ever:
step 1: blurred hair
step 2: mono-tone skin color
step 3: perfect hair, partial perfect skin
step 4: perfect face
step 5: mono-tone arms
step 6: perfect arms
step 7: perfect everything
step 8: perfect everything, zoomed in

yea there's NO way that could be faked!

Look I airbrushed one too! It took me only 35 hours to do:

Uhh... did you notice how as parts of her get farther away from the center of focus, they get blurrier? Like how the mouth and eyes are in perfect focus, and the ears are slightly blurred, and the hair is the blurriest?
 
There is no way this is legit, I doubt I can make a better argument than xcellerate as to why.
 
meh it's airbrushing ..really not that hard to do for someone talented, although the level of detail is suspect ..now if he could that with oils I'd be impressed

So how bout that art you made when you were a teacher. Got some scans lying around.
 
It was probably done @ 10x+ scale

Doesn't look like chetts to me, hope not
 
I am not a expert but its suposed it taked 70 hours in total,and that looks like a big bunch of time and this stuff takes time
 
I agree with xcellerate, his step by step pics are a joke. I've seen lots of time lapsed drawings and that just looks like the guy chopped the picture down with photoshop. The first few pics just look like a sketch filter.
 
Bullshit. Level of detail is way too high. Even most laser printers have trouble with detail like that and I doubt he used a laser.
 
ahahaha its all fake... i can argue why screwin sumthin with a stolen dick is better... lol

PEACE

It's not fake. It apears to look photoreal because it's scaled down. The real thing is probably very big something like 2x3 m. And I'm sure the traces are clearly visible on the real one.

no :) ..teachers dont make art ..they help others make art


in all honesty I dont want to post anything because well it's not very good ..at least seen through my eyes almost a decade after I first drew the work in question ..I have a ton of drawings of medical equipment but that's boring and clinical (how many times can you see endless variations of nail clippers, bone saws or hysterectomy equipment? ..but that pretty much all there is that's representative of work I've done in the last five years or so ..I just dont have the time or inclination to do art for the sake of creating something ..perhaps I'll get back into it when I finally pick up a tablet
 
On their site they have an image of them standing next to a pretty small canvas. I thought that was the scale they did it at. If they did it larger then it's easily possible.
 
I'm just going to believe it's true until someone proves otherwise.

If it's fake, then it's still impressive, because they fooled a shit ton of people!
 
Alot of people are going to be angry as hell if it is fake, because he's advertising workshops to show people howto do it. Which is what leads me to believe that it is indeed very genuine.
 
I'll believe it when I see a picture of the easel with the painting on canvas or whatever surface, not just a doctored up white background with what appears to be a photograph.
 
I believe this is not real. It could be, but I highly doubt it. Take a look at those guys. Do you think they have any idea what subsurface scattering is? I doubt that very much, but there is definitely a good amount of it in the image. Also, I fail to see how this is even considered a painting when you can clearly see the telltale signs of a digital photograph. For example, edge issues and the chromatic aberration on her earrings. Why are these shitheads hosting a crappy website with (lol) testimonials on it when they should be kicking dusso (www.dusso.com) out of work?

The second image is either 20 minutes worth of photoshopping, or months of masturbatory airbrush work that doesn't even look that impressive since it would take no artistic ability at all.

Even if these are both totally real, which i have serious trouble believing, it's worthless. It's anti-art. There is no creativity involved with it and that just plain sucks.
