Sound is old Russian cheesy song from 80′s. Offal stuff. Can’t imagine any good creative to use it.

Is there a point to this paint job? Or is the lesson here to know when to stop and step away from the keyboard.

I used to do a lot of digital painting. Here is a work in progress shot of me doing Dr House’s beard: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs26/f/2008/123/a/8/a8d7beb1be6b2b74757dee6525c6a48c.jpg
and here is the finished pic: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/125/e/b/eb943e2a6eec8bc6e0dcb548fee3da31.jpg
There isn’t a single pixel from the original photo in it, blended or whatever. Everything, for example every single hair, is either airbrushed or drawn in 80 layers with different shades and tones. Took me about 20 hours to paint. The video isn’t really that impressive. :)

I’m pretty sure this is real. Youtube is full of these videos – search for speedpainting.

Take a look at some of the high-realist paintings (and drawings) that are out there. Many are pretty amazing. Yes, they have worked from photographs, but the paintings are real. Using Photoshop, after you have gained the technical skills, would be easier than working with oils or acrylics. The initial drawing part is pretty straight forward, and easily done by an artist. No need to trace. Having the ability to “reshape” and move bits around would help to. Probably real.
