Heres what I love so much about this. I have seen photorealist artists with equally bonkers talent, rare as it may be, but far too often they waste it by drawing portraits of hollywood celebrities. Like an insanely detailed recreation of a rather uninteresting picture of Jennifer Lawrence, or Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson, whoever. Not only is it fully lacking in creativity, its also not anymore interesting than the original photograph, other than obviously as a showcase of drawing talent. But yours I could stare at all day. I dont know if you take the photographs you base these on yourself but at the very least you have a very good eye for composition, and what makes an interesting photograph, on top of a savant level talent at drawing.

I don't think you could be embarrassed about any amount of time it would take to make something this detailed.
