Description
Rene Magritte is a longtime influence and is often mentioned in comments about my artwork (which I take as a good thing). This one just seemed to blossom into a direct tribute.
There are eleven real P4 Dorks and 337 2D images of Dork. I first had 348 hat meshes, but talk about slowing a computer down... Made them out of primitives and it did much better. World Top mode used with an image of Magritte's 1954 painting, "The Schoolmaster"

By the way, this optical effect is similar to how your television and printer works. Each tiny dot(or hat) on the screen has a color and when combined with thousands, all the dots form a picture. There, you learned something today.

Very original and great work.

Great concept and realization. This kind of influence is also present in the work of a great designer and illustrator Mirko Ilic. You should take a look at his work, if you haven't already.

Bloody hell. And I mean that in a good way. Let me be the first to say "I take my hat off to you." Well, someone had to. :)

This one turned out great! I know what you mean about using a multitute of lattices...especially when you use "massive" resolution!

... and to think, I learned it here at FrogDot U! I was just thinking this reminded me of Mirko Ilic, and then I saw Illuminati's comment.

Great concept, beautifully executed. I'm a big fan of Magritte's work also & I suspect he would have appreciated this digital homage...
