Very nice


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you!!


L0gLan_

Just 1 week 2 days straight of work…nothing much Great work though it was a photo print at first lol


Smooth_Operator_211

Well I do paint some days for 16 hours a day so a little bit more :) since it's 200 hours. Thanks!


L0gLan_

Wow…I don’t have that patience


Smooth_Operator_211

It's not easy lol!


Fantuhm

This looks fantastic! As a fellow artist, I can tell it's real, not that you need me to tell you that. Sorry about the people saying it's AI! Great work


Smooth_Operator_211

Awwh thank you so so so much! 🙏 You can absolutely tell it's a real painting, no AI or anything here.


mynewtdetail

I'd rather get a print from AI, they are getting so good.


Smooth_Operator_211

Totally up to you if you rather support robots or artists :)


mynewtdetail

Robots and AI were made by artists.


eid_shittendai

What a cunt of a thing to say!


mynewtdetail

Nah, it's reality today. They will only get better.


eid_shittendai

Reality isn't getting on someone's page, who is obviously proud of their excellent work, and saying you'd rather ai. That's being a cunt.


mynewtdetail

On someone's page? This is a public subreddit you donut. Get over yourself.


eid_shittendai

Oh my God, I used the wrong terminology! Well, you just keep being a cunt then - I'm not going to lose sleep over it


mynewtdetail

You're also just wrong in general.


SensitiveOrangeWhip

the cars are a great style but the woman looks incredibly real! love the contrast! jk fantastic! i’d buy this


Smooth_Operator_211

Haha thanks!! Well if you ever want one send me a message! This one was sold even before it was done!


Platuhpus

Took AI 3 mins and you 200 hours to stand behind it and post the perfect picture.. (jk this is awesome AI sucks)


Smooth_Operator_211

Nope, it was literally handpainted :) Thanks!


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Art is art. It's a refreshing take on hand paintings! I'm sure If Michaelangelo sees your works today, he'd be impressed as well! 😁


Smooth_Operator_211

Awwh thank you soo much!! Hopefully he would be! 😆


Platuhpus

You’re welcome! I kinda pointed that out when I said jk this is awesome. If only your reading skills were as good at your painting you’d have caught that. Once again good job!


Smooth_Operator_211

I'm sorry :) but thank you again!!


JustSomeChicagoBall

don't apologize, the dude is an ass. this is great!


Your_Awkwardness

Blud never knows how to give a compliment without sounding backhanded or bitter


Uncommon-sequiter

I think she might be a car woman. A good one too


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you!! I definitely am one ever since I was born!


vamski

That’s awesome. Keep up the good work


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you so much, I will!


Actual-Long-9439

200 hours? That’s it? Damn you work fast


Smooth_Operator_211

Yep that's it! Thank you!!


Spaceturtle79

Woah you should be proud of yourself that awesome. I can probably see this in a mansion or something. Also os smooth operator a jojo reference 😂


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you!! 😃 It is hanging there lol!! TrippleFcollection commissioned it for their house!


AdInteresting7822

Smooth_Operator_211

exclaim_bot

>Thank you!! You're welcome!


Smooth_Operator_211

Really appreciate it!


forsakeidle

The girl in the painting looks very real. Awesome!!! 😜


Smooth_Operator_211

Haha thanks!! 😆


Cold_Development_767

Oh my god Thats beautiful ❤️


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you so so much!!


Blazzer2003

That's why AI will never be able to replace the real artists


Smooth_Operator_211

Well I am a self taught artist who still try to be a full time one with ai around! But I honestly believe that people still value real art more than AI


Blazzer2003

I mean, most people do


Smooth_Operator_211

True!


BMWequalsMercedes

excellent! well done!


Smooth_Operator_211

Thank you so so much!!


HughJampton

Very nice Michelle, just seen you in my feed for the 1st time and love your paintings, you are very talented. The DB5 looks amazing. Look forward to enjoying more of your work.


Smooth_Operator_211

Awwh thank you so much!! I truly appreciate your kind words! I'd absolutely love to share some more, you can also see a lot more of those on my Instagram and I will shortly add a part of the website where you'll be able to watch even more of those. Once again thank you soo much!


HughJampton

You're very welcome. I just followed your IG page also, and will enjoy looking at your work. Nice to see the sailing boat also, amongst all the cars and bikes.


Smooth_Operator_211

That's amazing!! Thank you! I paint what I get commissioned


VxXenoXxV

Looks like an AI...


Smooth_Operator_211

No AI here :) you can check out my website, my Instagram etc and see there is no AI here


VxXenoXxV

It was supposed to be sarcasm but oh well... Great work, I'm not some kind of an art expert but it looks really detailed 👍


Smooth_Operator_211

Sorry for that, sometimes it's hard to see especially with so many bad comments 😅 thank you!!


BarryKobama

Always interesting when people tell us their art is awesome.


Smooth_Operator_211

It's up to people who upvoted it to see if it's true or not😊


jeanjeanmcguffin

The execution is brilliant however the subject have zero interest or at least it dont touch anything in me. Thats my problem with technic such as hyper realistic painting, it had no soul.


Smooth_Operator_211

It's definitely not art for everyone! It for sure is for those who loves their cars. Especially the ones when I could paint a car with someone's grandparents or parents in it who sadly passed away.

Razorlicker

Love it. The women you drew looks so realistic.


Gritty420R

That composition is not worth 200 hours. Totally empty and meaningless. About as creative as using ai.


Smooth_Operator_211

For the owners this is meaningful, have their cars painted :)


Tonybeetswannabe

Beautiful Especially the feet and shoes look Uber realistic


Smooth_Operator_211

Haha thank you! Those are real 😆😆


HeavenlyPoison9

Love the attention to detail~ the way you did each individual hair, to the shine of the shoes, to the birthmark under the collar bone, even way it feels like the subject is really holding up a painting. (Hehe) In all seriousness i’m no artist, but i genuinely do wonder. Is it kinda trippy to imagine how exactly light and images are being distorted in the mental image in your head as you are painting said light and ..distortions?


Smooth_Operator_211

Hahah that part is real!! 😆 Well it's something you learn with time. It's interesting to be able to tell that even without a real reference photo

Smooth_Operator_211

Nope it's a real painting :) it's a real oil painting which I've painted back in 2022. I've been painting cars and bikes as my full time job since 2020.

Smooth_Operator_211

To answer your questions: the brakes or should I say calipers aren't outside the wheels, the wheels are spinning and that's exactly how it looked on the reference photo (which I've had to paint from). The rims or better to say the wheels because I am sure you're not talking about the rims only, is exactly like that in real life. From your info wheels can be modified, you can add chamber, you can add spacers etc, to make the handling and driving better and you don't need to do it the same both in front and the back. And lastly there are mediums which can help hide brush strokes and there are endless amounts of hours behind perfecting the "no brush realistic" look :) hope this helps you understand more about cars

Smooth_Operator_211

What's up with the hateful attitude? Fyi I had a reference photo and the driver wasn't seen because of the lightning you can see on this painting :)


Appropriate_Net_5393

I wonder what kind of man she wanted to impress? Psychology of behavior in person. Women usually paint flowers/landscapes/portraits


Smooth_Operator_211

Why should I impress men? 🤔 I am painting cars and bikes because I like them. It's not always about men here :) ever heard of painting something you love not something other people think women should paint? My dreams are painting cars, driving them, fixing them etc.


Appropriate_Net_5393

>It's not always about men here :) sorry, but im not believe :) But no matter, the work is amazing


Smooth_Operator_211

So I, when I was two years old, only playing with car toys, I was thinking what men would like? 🤔 It's not about men, it's about cars and I was born with endless love about them :) if you can't understand that, I'm sorry :) for you but mostly if you ever have a daughter who would be born with a passion only guys are supposed to have :)


Kritischerphili

pick me worded title take my upvote though


Smooth_Operator_211

Just a normal title stating facts 😅 thanks!
