    That’s really impressive, for a couple seconds I thought it was body paint

      Lack of hair makes it more realistic. Hair has always been difficult to recreate in art.

      Notice how there are no eyebrows or eyelashes either.

        Those black ridges over the eyes kind of give the illusion of eyelashes with eyeliner though

      It really is fantastic, I thought it was a re-enactor or the like from the thumbnail. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any ancient statue like it.

    That is a level of detail and realism that you didn’t see much at that time from what I understand

      I have never come across an ancient Egyptian statue in this style before. It’s interesting that even the statue of his wife from the same tomb is much more stylized.

    So much detail on the eyes but the ears are merely a suggestion.
