This is art!!!
Nobody gets its true value!

Honestly, not that I wanna start a rant, it is just an opinion, it is my taste:
there are a lot of very well made models around the world and in the modern games, and although I like some of them very much and I enjoy their beauty, I think they are not art, and they don't carry anything, no message, no meaning, no life.

I know that this model is at least at a border where the viewer can't bear its sloppyness. And, I as the modeler and painter look at it with the proudness of a creator and forget about the smearing of the texture and things like that.

I have a friend who is a magnificent drawer, but he loves perfectness and can't bear sketches, while his sketches are wonderful and the very few finished masterpieces of him that he accept as of at least quite good quality.
I like his sketches, but I don't like the finished pieces, because they are IMO lifeless in their color, lines and expression.

Maybe, it is simply this, I don't like perfectness, because it is an incarnation of a lie? Maybe.
But, I know that as a result of my work, perfectness is expected, and people need perfectness because it symbolizes health and happiness, often it even symbolizes invulnerability.
That's okay. But, in my free time, I sometimes can't resist to make and present something like a pope model that looks as if made of paper from the paper basket.

EDIT:
Actually, IMO it has been a good lowpoly model, originally build as a zombie.
Later, I changed it into the old man, and unfortunately added some unwelcome distortions...

EDIT2: Danke, Loopix! Es gibt doch noch Menschen, die Dinge ähnlich erleben wie ich! Erleichterung! Der Tag ist gerettet! Puuh!!!
