this is simply incredible. artists creating highly-detailed and realistic sculptures of humans. some of them are enormous, and you really can't tell the difference between the art and real people. click the link for more pics. its fucking nuts!

Artists that produce photorealistic sculptures, for the most part, aim to show us our bodies and life as it really is.
Technically, artists who strive for a high resolution level of detail in painting or sculpture are called "hyperrealists", although all hyperrealists are also considered to be photorealists.
Every detail is slavishly recreated as close to the real life model as possible, even if the sculpture is larger than the original scale. Photorealistic sculptors create truly amazing sculptures that will make you feel wonder, revulsion and the sense of looking in someone else's mirror.

In this post we feature sculptors Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Jamie Salmon, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks and Adam Beane who produce sculpture that seems alive in every detail, right down to veins and rashes on skin. This compilation should give you a cross section of modern photorealistic sculpture.

i think some of the artists use wax, and some of them use silicone. i just can't imagine how long it must have taken them to place every little individual strand of hair. these ones are great too

the hair is probably one of the easier parts - i'm imagining they'd use real/synthetic hair and just style it to their liking
