I can't stand it anymore. The image is neither a render nor a photo. So whichever side of that position/reaction you were on, you missed.

IMO it is craft (admirable, and beautifully done with great skill), but not art. (I would not hang it on my wall. I would not pay to go see it.)

Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing it more than just about anything in the gallery here. I enjoyed watching it being made even more.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
