One Question, why the camera model details? Something fishy going on here...

MagusnoJigoku In reply to massacre-man [2003-10-16 22:32:13 +0000 UTC]

3, 4 people together have concluded, along with the artist, that he used a camera to capture his pencil drawing, I'm assuming to make sure no smudging occurs that could happen if he placed it on a flatbed scanner. The camera details were not intentionally placed. It is standard in that camera he used that it automatically embeds such information into every file.

You know how most drawings look like a pic in the thumbnails? and then you full view and is still good but it doesn't look like a picture anymore?

Well this even full sized looks like a picture!!!

You did an AMAZING job!

i can't find any trace of this piece to make me belive that it was drawn by hand. the description is the only thing ...

it must be the ultimate satisfaction for someone to almost dismiss your work as a photo and not a drawing... its usually the other way around w/photo manips... we feel like we can weed them out from the real ones.

here... "nah, thats just a photo.."

outstanding.
