Sup /ic/ Thought this might be the place to ask this kinda question

>>2614060
man those glasses are flat as fuck

There seem to be a few very inconsistent parts so it probably is photobash
But I'm no expert

Mei is [spoiler]fat[/spoiler]

definitely, you can tell by the pixels.

Yep, faces are painted over. The rest of the body seems to be legitimate. which just makes it look really weird.

It is very clearly paintover of a computer generated image.

and yes, it is still technically art. no rules, only tools. Get over it.

The trade off is that trained eyes will never enjoy it as much as a good traditional piece, or even a more careful paintover.

Why get into art if you want live by "no rules, just tools"
Politics or business would be much better

Yeah, let's make an uncanny valley and inconsistent pic. why put some fucking effort into it.

Helmet, hairpin and other elements are obviously rendered from fairly low-poly models. Look at the edges; that isn't clumsy line construction, it's CGI.

Face might be painted. It's easy as fuck to do a soft, neutral-expression, generic face. Equally possible it's some k-pop bitch with a filter over the top.

Hair and fur look kind of rendered, but could be painted, I guess. The bit down the right side of her face makes it obvious that at least some of this image has been collaged.

Glasses are cut-and-pasted on top of the hair. Oddly enough, the shadows of the glasses must have been painted on and are quite competently done. Whoever did it obviously understands how the line should fall over the form of the face, blend into the rest of the shadow and so on.

Overall, it seems like a combination of 3D, photobashing and a bit of painting done by someone with a fair bit of skill but in a hurry. It seems very 'professional' in that it is the kind of work I would expect from someone who does it as a job, working to a deadline, would churn out.

It's certainly not a purely painted piece and even if it was, it's generic, soft-focus, impress-the-casual, character standing around doing nothing shit.

Y-you're a big guy... b-baka!

You can see the random edge changes all over the image, of course it's photobashed as shit

Please stop taking Vilppu's quote out of context and applying it to anything and everything.

> It's easy as fuck to do a soft, neutral-expression, generic face

post work then

>>2614060
3d + paint over

>>2614127
this

plus the fur seems to have some brushes strokes added over the cg, you can see it at the edge, where there is a big shape with soft edges and a brush with high resolution over it

also the transition from the face to the hair and from the face to the fur is very in very soft edge

finally the edges of the hand are the biggest give away that it's a drawing over a 3d render

Not quite as good as the one in OP's pic, but I think it demonstrates that even a low-skill guy like me can do a fairly polished face.

just fuck off please

Your eyes still managed to be symbols, how?

lmao he literally took a screenshot of mei in-game, grabbed a picture of some random chick, photoshopped the chicks head over mei then painted over it.

>>2614953
it's the black lines

Art isnt a bastion of creative valuation.

No matter who where or when you are, if you are a human surrounded by humans the only way to get ahead is by cutting throats. (Pun intended)
