Share on Facebookyeah. Michelangelo did s**t that was idealized, pretty much the epitome of his time. This stuff is WAY too naturalistic to compare. As far as I'm concerned, this stuff is much more interesting.
You obviously are not that familiar with Michelangelo's work. Please tell me that's why you make such a ludicrous comment.

But... reallity is... nowadays, there are tons of naturalistic, hyperealistic artists and Michelangelo was the only one at his time with that amount of talent. In XXI century there are no "stars" we are too many on the world. Besides, Michelangelo was not a great artist because he made marutralistic sculpture, but because of what was said with the technique...
bravissimo...adoro la scultura ed è splendido vedere un talento del genere...complimenti
Fantastic! But be you, don't classify yourself as another version of a master.
I wonder who Michelangelo looked up to in his time. I guess I could google it.

I can't stop thinking about SpongeBob SquarePants. He is as good as Jim! 😋
Michelangelo used nothing but the chisel, there was no photo, there was no zbrush and no motorized equipment... Michelangelo represents an artistic movement in sculpture and not only how real his works were. Only idiots would judge an artist's work merely on its ability to reproduce reality, otherwise 3D printers and photos would beat any and all artists.
