Post your results.............I got 16 out of 20 correct. :)
I got 13...which isn't great, as you should get about 50% just by guessing. 3D has gotten really good lately!
only 7 out of 20 :(
18 out of 20.
About 8 or so were super-easy, just because I knew them as CG art.
Is that cheating?
YES >:(
ps: just jokin'
16 out of 20.
Mostly the eye areas were a death give away.
Kadri,
Same place I looked.............. :)
20/20. But I kind of do this for a living. ;) I guessed most of them within 2-3 seconds to be honest. There are still plenty of tell-tale signs, although lots of very good work in there.
It's cool to see a new one of these, but I really don't know if including "digital paintings" is that useful/interesting. After all painters have been making photorealistic paintings for centuries. Digital technology has changed (or improved) that little to none. I'm much more interested in photorealistic *renders*. Which there are several of. But there the low(ish) resolution of the images serves to make it harder to tell they're CG, which seems a bit unfair. Looking at the final, larger images in the workflow threads usually reveals them as CG more easily. That being said I definitely appreciated that they linked to workflows for most of them, that's a really cool idea.
I've wanted to make a quiz/test site like this myself for a long time, in large part because none of them seem to ever include landscapes!

14/20. Interesting I think in what gave it away to different people. Highlights on lips, inconsistent hair and skin texture got me most of mine, although it got a bit tricky when I had to think whether that could have been the result of makeup and studio photography
The hair is usually the tip off for me. No matter how good the skin texturing, there's almost always a few places in the hair that looks a bit blurry or not-quite-convincing.
13/20. About half way through I had only missed one, but for some reason I started going with a first impression and immediately started missing more. Usually I find my immediate impression, or instinct is the way to go, but not in this case. Some nice work there.
13 out of 20. Great quiz!
14 out of 20. Some are quite hard, and I should have 15 out of 20 right, if my wife weren't interfering ;) Mostly I guessed fake instead of photo's were I went wrong, probably because the photo's (or actors) were worked at as well.
17. I couldn't believe that Morgan Freeman's image was CG!
This is incredible!!!

Yeah Morgan's image tricked me too and so did Megan Fox her image.
I recognised the photo and noticed the weird jaw line, but with such skinny chicks I'm not surprised they have weird jaw lines under certain lighting angles.
19,got Cumberbatch wrong.
Hmm. As several of the commenters on YouTube point out, the end result in that "finger painting" video just looks exactly like the photo. And you see him "painting" in all this detail, but none of it is actually painterly, it looks like the painting of textures, if anything. So where did the textures come from? In the end it looks like a great finger painting that is then slowly masked away to reveal the real photo. It's still impressive, but it does appear to be misleading...

Photoshop has implemented a new painting feature (at least as of CS5) that replicates a photo quite well and very similar to how the Clone tool works and can, in fact, be referencing an invisible layer. I tried it only once and it's the only digital painting I've ever done. I only did one because I felt like it was too much like cheating. I mean, the one painting I did, I also have a photograph of, so everyone would know the reference, but if I took a photo first, and only released a "painting" of it, everyone would probably think I was this brilliant photo-realistic digital painter, when in reality, I was merely utilizing a very quick and efficient "cheat". This one took me less than 30 mins. If I used a smaller brush size and took my time with it, I could probably get similar results.
Actually, now that I think about it, why am I NOT utilizing this more? :-\
Yeah, I mean, at that point it becomes like a "paint effect" filter in a way. Kind of old news.

The "painting" has depth-of-field blur in it. :P That's all I'm saying. ;)
There's a lot of discussion, whether the Morgan Freeman painting is fake or not:

This shows *exactly* what I thought he did when I watched the original vid:

So it seems it's fake...
This is really sad. I badly wanted to believe that someone can paint like that :( :( :(
There are some incredible artists out there that do really mind blowing work, so I don't feel so bad about it. This was just a little too perfect.
Look, artist doing actual art! (you can tell because he has a pencil ;) )
