These 3D models from 'The Dark Knight Rises' look incredibly real

CGI has evolved drastically in recent years that it's becoming difficult to tell the difference between real life and renderings. Take, for example, these posters for The Dark Knight Rises. What you're looking at aren't photos, and no part of these images included Anne Hathaway. They're 100% 3D models created by Norwegian artist Per Haagensen. Her red lips, lush, auburn hair, firm breasts and fierce eyes are all computer-generated imagery.

The photorealistic models were digitally sculpted and textured using Zbrush and Lightwave, while the background art was done in Photoshop. The lighting, detail, and color grading are just insane! You can see more of Per's creations at his ArtStation page.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Watching this video makes me feel like a tiny and trivial organism in the face of nature's relentless power.
