This Portrait of Tom Hardy Is Not a Photo But an Amazing Artwork

Hadi Karimi, an outstanding 3D Artist known for his highly realistic digital portraits of famous people, has amazed the audience with a new artwork. It is a photorealistic model of the renowned actor Tom Hardy, which was made in Maya and ZBrush and rendered with Arnold.

The level of detail and realism is so amazing that it is almost impossible to tell if it is a photograph or an artwork. The artist accurately captured the actor's appearance and emotions, replicating his tattoos and adding complex lighting to the portrait.
