Now that truely is a work of art. Maybe I just say that because I'm lucky if I can draw a stick figure but regardless the detail is incredible.

See what happens when you're really bored?

Cosmic Fur:
the reason it does not look realistic is because it is zoomed in on it and its not supposed to look absolutely real
the main point is for you too look at the whole picture which is incredible in detail and does look realistic
this is definately a work of art

i actually lived 3 substops away from this one. the Damen blue line stop is actually where all the hip/artist types live

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur The picture of the train itself is bad imo. It doesn't look realistic at all - I've seen games that had trains rendered as well as that, it doesn't look like it's actually on the tracks, and lastly, it's very very obvious it's digitally drawn, unlike the first picture posted.

Sorry man....no offence....you dont know what your talking about.

As geroin stated you have to look at the big picture here, the close-up of the train is not supposed to be looked at so close up. It just shows how much detail he had to put in, while zoomed into the photo to make it look realistic while zoomed out.

And your point about trains being rendered has nothing to do with photoshop painting. For an image to be rendered it is first built completely in 3D using a 3D modeling program (ie. 3d studio max, Maya, XSI, Zbrush or any number of other packages) Then once it is rendered, the mesh is unwrapped onto a 2d plane, to make sure nothing is streached out when you apply a texture. THEN in photoshop you paint or find textures for the model and apply them back on the model. THEN lighting, camera shots, and rendering. WAY different process, and set of skills. Think about it as painting with a brush vs. sculping clay and then painting it in great detail, then setting up proper lighting, and taking a photo of it.

Originally posted by evil_cookie yeah, the whole point is he did on photoshop.

lol, thats like using two sticks to make a fire when you could use a lighter.

its amazing that he can do that, but so what? its not really artistic skills, its just technical skill anyone could learn with practice.
The only real amazing thing is that he actually had/spent that much time on it.
