this is the smudge tool and blur in photoshop used on an actual photograph, its not a painting or "digital artwork" from a reference picture, im sick of ppl using these tools to make fanart and get attention when actual artists who work hard on their art dont get shit

the way you can tell is that the there is literally NO area that is even a little bit different from the actual picture, not a single strand of hair, not a single bump or crease on hus hair, not a single teeth.. thats not how digital paintings go

this is what happens when you use the smudge tool on the original picture not keep it to the side so you can see it and replicate it

crease on his hat*

here's them saying that "its a digital paiting/digital artwork" so no they're not passing it off as a smudge tool done work, they literally are saying they PAINTED it digitally smh

their other realism pieces are also done using the same tools

you see this part? this is bcs they mustve extended the smudge tool more that the actual area hence it dragged the black color along more than it was supposed to, pls if you see posts like this, look out for these signs

if anyone is reading this thread now, the @ in the initial screenshots is correct.. they changed it back to @solishobi

also they never admitted to faking the art .. they stuck with their story and said they traced and colored even though their case was the most obvious blur and smudging one, so do whatever you want with that information..
