it's interesting, but I don't think it's a painting. Look at the edges. They're never that sharp in painting.

(And if this is in fact a painting, my apologies to the artist. You are clearly a genius. :D)

I don't know.  Usually, I'm pretty skeptical at really photo-realistic paintings, and I definately see what you mean about the edges (the spidernet tights especially), but look at the wood grain. It's just soft-looking enough that I'm unsure.

It isn't a painting. It's a photograh. I guess the tag line confused teen ink! They updated it is an oil painting. I named it that way because the paintbrush is my recluse.
