Isn't "realistic art" the same as "real looking" women? Is there a distinction in your mind? I'd be curious to hear it.Wait, so is this thread "games with incredibly realistic art" or "games with 'real-looking' women"?
In this context, "realistic art" is art that has certain qualities that make it look 'real' to me (the quality of the models, skin textures, lighting, etc.) while "real-looking women" are women who aren't "model pretty" and don't have unrealistic proportions, etc.Isn't "realistic art" the same as "real looking" women?

Couldn't have said it better myself.In this context, "realistic art" is art that has certain qualities that make it look 'real' to me (the quality of the models, skin textures, lighting, etc.) while "real-looking women" are women who aren't "model pretty" and don't have unrealistic proportions, etc.
For example:
This image is a good example of the first. Let's face it, she's "model pretty" (unless I don't understand what that even means), but the quality is so good you might think it was a photograph if you scrolled past it.
While this:
would be an example of the second. She's clearly meant to be an older woman (it shows in her face), but the colors and the overall style is unrealistic in that it's obviously drawn.
Now you may think that what I'm really saying is that "realistic" means 3D and maybe even that I mean that "real-looking women" is 2D. Not the case. There is a LOT of overlap between the two.
For example, a "real-looking" woman done with "realistic" art:
And a woman done in "realistic" 2D art:
Note that she's got friggin' ELF ears yet is drawn in a style that somehow makes it look 'realistic'.
I suppose my standard is a bit of Column A and Column B. "Realism" in my opinion, necessitates some degree of broader asymmetry, in addition to smaller granular detail such as pores, hair, weight, age, gravity, vascularity, sub-surface scattering, anatomical accuracy and a plethora of other elements that reinforce a sense of the "natural". This doesn't necessarily mean that this standard is strictly for "ugly", or " unconventionally" attractive characters, however those types of characters are an easy crossover. Personally I find the easiest way of illustrating the aim of this thread by showcasing what it isn't:In this context, "realistic art" is art that has certain qualities that make it look 'real' to me (the quality of the models, skin textures, lighting, etc.) while "real-looking women" are women who aren't "model pretty" and don't have unrealistic proportions, etc.

Damn, where is the "real-looking" woman done with "realistic" art woman from?

Damn, why did it have to be this one...Gates Motel : P_S_Y_C_H_O
Yeah its unfortunate. Many of my favorites are abandoned.Damn, why did it have to be this one...
Broke my heart when I first spotted the abandoned tag on it a few months ago.
