- Why would anyone spend so long painting such a boring face?Ianbolton
- she isn't boring to meBen99
- isn'tdbloc
- lol @Ape, nice one.Maaku
- imagine spending your entire leisure time painting something that looks like a photograph - what a massive step back in artistic progress. BIG MEH.fadein11
- @aperobot: It's not talent - it's patience/experience... there is a huge difference.fadein11

- it's autism._niko
- Nah, that's definitely a talent. That shit looks real to the point where I'm actually trying to see if it's not a photo.fyoucher1

- You're a painting!pango
- Not saying this is easy, but with a massive enough canvas, it's much easier to fill in the tiny details like pores and creases.iCanHazQBN
- This is purely technical skill. Requires no imagination or artistic impression.iCanHazQBN
- I knew a girl like this in school. She could reproduce anything. But if you asked her to be creative and invent something from her mind, she couldn't.iCanHazQBN
- So, the guy is a technician, not an artist. iCanHaz says it.Ben99
- this is the same as training those elephants to paint http://www.indusladi…_niko
- mind boggling. what if there is no model and he thought this face up out of nothing? would that be creative?HijoDMaite

Creativity: 0pablo28 - Would not bang?Ben99
- The focus of something like this will always shift to the technique or skill of the painter. Not the content.iCanHazQBN
- The painter isn't expressing anything but his skill. If he wanted to capture the girl's "essence" he could've achieved the exact result by taking a photo.iCanHazQBN
- The fact that he chose to paint it instead means he just wanted to show off his technical ability.iCanHazQBN
- So he traced from a photo or real life that looks just like the original. Then he scanned or took a photo of his work that still looks just like the original...pango
- Meta...pango
- What's next? Divided by zero?!?!pango
- its great, but hey guys, have you ever seen recent paintings? or digital paintings? they're realistic as fuck... nothing new herefeel
- i love the color on her eyes and her expression, not so much her tattoofeel

- she's attractive.docpoz
- lol we're bugging about this glorious artist whose work none of us could ever do.. cuntsmekk
- I can take a photo and it would look just as real.pango
- Paint More! QBN Less!tap
- A photo would never have the texture of a painting.hotroddy
- I think she is exquisite. Far from boring. I am in love in fact lol.rabbit
- "glorious artist"? Hmm. How is this creative or imaginative? He's a color copy machine with great brush control. He's just reproducing what he's seeing.iCanHazQBN
- ^ what he saidfadein11
- Photo would never have the tenure of the paint? Then why try so hard to paint like a photo? Or painting would never have the same texture as photo?pango
- The texture ensures that the painting is one of a kind. No two alike. A photo can be mass produced.hotroddy
- So the advantage of a painting is for investment and bragging? "I bought this painting for how much and it's one of a kind" :Ppango
- quite how anyone can say this is boring or shes painted a crap this or whatever, just shhtaaaap, look at it! ITS A FRIGGIN PAINTINGcruddlebub
