This 3D artwork, created by Brazilian artist Andre Holzmeister, is awe-inspiring and eye-catching.

This “Digital Beauty” meant to be the main character of a reel in a local cinema. But the workload was overwhelming, so just this still was created. Undoubtedly, this 3D model was created with a great deal of irony. I love the hair detail (the hair looks so realistic) and the light setup.
