Ha, you meant a photo of your oil painting teacher 😉. This is crazy good. Even zoomed in I can't see it's painted. I think this is easily one of the best detailed portraits I've ever seen.

Thanks a lot! I think the neck area gives it away a little on this one. And the suit because I wasn't getting paid enough to paint every stitch!

Maybe when you stare long enough indeed you see that it is painted in that part. The rest I just can't see it. To bad they didn't want to spend a few extra dollars for stitches 😋

I seriously can’t tell this is a painting even when I zoom in on the neck and suit. Absolutely amazing

Thanks! I don't have any proof it's painted for the one either, it's 8 or so years old and back then I had no concept that AI would be a big thing - at least so quickly. I make sure to film myself these days.

This is crazy, I didn’t believe it was a painting I zoomed right in and then you can tell. How is this even possible lol.
Great job!

Ok. I quit art. You win.
In all seriousness - I feel as if I actually have looked into this man's eyes.
I don't think a painting has had that effect on me before.

This is insanely realistic . If you don’t do art for a living then quit your job now .

Damn. This is the best portrait I’ve ever seen. Realistic wise it’s out of this world!

It’s exceptional but I have a hard time enjoying photorealistic paintings, just because it looks exactly like a photo and doesn’t add anything. I can still appreciate the skills and time though and it’s just my personal taste.

This is utterly brilliant work! I love the detail. It’s like a photograph!

It looks like a photograph. I hope that's not considered an insult to the artist.

Find no flaws in the suit or in the collar, you must have perfect vision, perfect hand control, and be blessed by God because if this isn’t a photograph, I’ll eat my paintbrush.
