Love this topic. Nice examples posted here - ambitious and well executed.

Funny cos I'm putting together a render along these lines right now. The reference is quite painterly (in terms of having lots of brush-strokes), but I'm letting Poser do it's thing to an extent with lighting and some degree of realistic shaders. I'm looking for a re-interpretation rather than an emulation of a painting. If I get it finished in the next couple of days I'll post the results and see if anyone can identify the source.
