Georgian Artist Creates Hyper-Realistic Portraits, And Here Are 15 Of His Newest Works
Two years ago, we talked about Georgian artist Irakli Nadar who creates incredible digital paintings that are extremely realistic. Today, we want to showcase the newest digital artworks of this talented artist.
Unlike many artists who bet on playfulness and even surrealism, Irakli prefers to perfect himself in hyper-realism techniques that bring his art to the most amazing optics. The use of textures, lights, and shadows make his digital art an amazing vista that deserves full attention.
My main goal is to be less dependent on reference but also to maintain my personal style and the realistic drawings that go along with it. I like to experiment with different styles and drawing ideas, but I don't see myself changing since I believe that an artist should do whatever he or she is good at. [...] I've spent years studying the human face and portrait drawings, and it would be careless to abandon all of that on a whim - says the artist (h/t: voxgroovy.is).
Scroll down and see the amazingly realistic art for yourself!

The realist artist does not use "living models," he uses photographs as a basis and likes to render the finest details by trying in some of her works to faithfully replicate what he sees.

And on the next article we can see the women who want to look like those "perfect" and unrealistic representations of what women "should" look like in ideal case. Stop things like these or don't be surprised by the outcome. -sigh-

I was thinking exactly this. These are not hyperrealistic - they are fantasy faces and exactly what the Instagram photoshoppers seem to try and recreate.

The eyes are too large, the lips too plush, and they almost all have that empty expression asking "Do I look alright?" The result is something like infantilized pin-ups. However, they are very well executed. I have seen plenty of actual photos that have been badly Photoshopped and ended up looking less realistic than these paintings. If the artist could find it in him to move on to painting realistic people in photo-realism, then the result could be marvelously interesting. These are not.

Some people look like this. Not too many, granted, but they're not unheard of. Besides, can't you enjoy the art for the amazing talent, years of effortless work, and time that went into producing them rather than knocking them for the idea that their personal style isn't "realistic." You would never look at a comic and say that it's bad because people aren't really outlined in black. Cue the downvotes in 3, 2, 1...
