Good one!

 Yes, it's semi-real. I like this mix.

Olumide Oresegun’s paintings

  I learned about this Nigerian artist tonight. Olumide Oresegun’s paintings are very realistic, life-like that people are now comparing some of his paintings to that of the famous Italian Leonardo da Vinci. See some of his paintings and him, and learn more from the source CCTV Africa.

Got to admit that's rather unusual.

This is a cousin of C-3PO (See-Threepio) from the Star Wars universe.

 If Mojo wants my friendly critique, here we go: I think all is good, because of the light and shadows, except the object in the hands of the android, because it's too 2D. I wish this object to be more 3D (via more light on it, or in another way, I don't know, because I never use this kind of software, but I'm sure Mojo knows what I mean, and I am sure he is able to make it more 3D, because many of his objects are very 3D, i.e. very real looking). This is from my "art consumer"'s point of view, of course and I give it 9 of 10 points.

...except the object in the hands of the android, because it's too 2D.

It's a valid critique. Had I changed the color of the object, or changed the lighting, and then presented it at an angle to show the printer as being an office printer, it would have looked much better than from the angle it is now. My problem with this one was the robot. In order to show his face, looking at you, I had to go for this particular angle. Too much to the rear or too much to the front and the robot's face is hidden from view. This problem is what makes the printer in the image look 2D. I should have altered the material of the printer, put it back, but you're looking at around 10 hours to produce this image once it was completed, in the rending process. So you kind of have to balance your time against is it worth the change. If I was getting paid for the image it would have been worth the time.

Much of what you see in these images, is just what I want you to see. Every thing is staged to fool the eye. Sometimes I pull it off, sometimes I don't. The very hardest thing in doing these is to see those mistakes yourself. Others spot them right away, such as yours but to the maker of it, you're sort of blind to these faults and it is very hard often to point at exactly what it is that disturbs the eye. This blindness to the faults is not just one of my own. All I know that do these sorts of images have the same problem.

You are so right. Mojo. You can search market for your images, they worth it. I think they worth to be advertised more in front of targeted auditory. I mean the targeted audience advertising; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_advertising.

Eh, btw, the wheels of the printer are totally 3-D.

And we may help in this process, if we share Mojo's art, when we have such an opportunity.

Thought you might like to see some other CGI that is fairly easy and nearly anyone can do it.

If you would like to take a try at this yourself, go here and download the program and try it for yourself. It's not very complicated to use at all. You should be up, running, and doing your own in a half hour or less.

 It's a real expressionism, Mojo. I'm not kidding, people! Look at a similar classic example of expressionism:

Franz Marc, Fighting Forms, 1914.

Yes. Seems Mojo is the same good in both: realism and expressionism. We can admire artists like him, because it's easy someone to be good in only one style, but it's really something to see an artist good in 2 styles.

There was method to my madness in showing the results of the Apophysis program. In this image the background was originally one such that I've run through a photoeditor to create.

 You know, my major is 'philosophy', not 'art', so I'm not sure how to describe it according to the real art-science, but my view is that it's a very good mix of realism and expressionism. If I have to choose your best work (from all you posted here), I'll surely vote this one to be in the TOP 3 best!
 I'm trying to figure out a good name for it, but I can't find something that can reflect its beauty, so, just a suggestion, until someone finds better one: A temptation in the endless harmony.
