computer trickery, do it on a canvas with actual paint and I'm impressed.
On a computer with filters and effects? When you can move the entire eye to the side a little bit to adjust thing? meh.
That's just digital sculpting with a limitless "redo" button.
Real paint, real clay, real tools,...then it's impressive.
You'd have to understand light source and colors, line values and such, to do it on a computer,....you'd have to understand art and illustration,....but it's just not "real" to me. Not at all.
It is a lot harder to paint with real paint then to use a computer. Infinitely harder.
....plus using a computer is too clean. ...get your hands dirty.
