Option A Examples
[one] (http://fineartamerica.com/images-medium/the-madness-of-nero-eric-armusik.jpg) [two] (http://www.hug.co.il/ifiles/28538a.jpg) [three] (http://junkyardarts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/the-desperate-man.jpeg) [four] (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c6Cy0yfb1J8/TMDUmuuYlkI/AAAAAAAAeDQ/lLEHGax4Uqg/s1600/photorealism_015.jpg) [five] (http://en.artoffer.com/_images_user/7472/95286/large/Clara-Bastian-Animals-Land-Market-Modern-Times-Realism.jpg) [six] (http://www.howarddavidjohnson.com/The_Oracle_pencil.jpg) [seven] (http://upic.me/i/46/l4g11.jpg) [eight] (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs39/f/2009/002/9/8/Freddy_Krueger_realism__by_moni158.jpg)
Option A Tips
◘ 'Realism' may imply the quality of Verisimilitude. Thus, it does not need to pertain all the laws of physics
◘ Realism can extend to 'magic realism', 'social realism', 'romantic realism', 'naturalism', 'figurativism' or even 'illustration'
◘ It's important you consider lighting, tone and texture in your art piece
◘ Try blending various genres of realism
◘ Try using the examples as inspiration
Option B Examples

Option B Tips
◘ 'Photorealism' only defines the graphical appearance of your signature, not the physics
◘ Try inserting CGI characters into a photorealistic environment
◘ It's important you consider lighting, tone and texture in your art piece
◘ You may blend with other realistic styles given this is your central style
◘ Try using the examples as inspiration

UPDATES
◘ Themes now link to Wikipedia for insight
and the winner links to his or her competition profile
◘ Violating rules in unfairness of the competition will result
in actual account punishments such as -rep, infractions and bans
◘ If you EVER plagiarize an entry, you will need to give
PSD checks permanently from then on!!
Let's hope we've recovered from #73
to get stuck into these hot, new themes.
Finally we are moving away from hypnagogic art
and into the world of natural color.
Good luck to all competitors,
and don't try cheating or I'll cut your balls off :)
Have fun.
