For anyone who still doesn’t get the difference I tried to draw between overly realistic (“photographic”) textures vs. something a little more stylized, I present the following experiments in detailporn:
RealHomer by Pixeloo
RealSimpsons at Destination Creation (but watch out for this site’s mystery-meat navigation…)
If, after looking at these, you still don’t get what I’m talking about, I can safely conclude it’s just me. But I’ll just say this: pores may not necessarily make portraits look attractive.


Hi Steve!
The first one are little bit to realistic from my own taste. I get this creepy feeling when im looking at it. I feels like the skin and the eyes gonna popout and explode in my face! Haaaaaa…..
The second one dont even comes near Simpson. My first thought was that probably someone in any second gonna scream “HIS ALIVE!”.
Detailporn….yes.. actually i prefer Simpson as a normal cartoon!
/Cheers
