Yeah - it's that whole dead/alive thing again, isn't it? Scrolling down after seeing the painted close-up, it's like looking at his corpse. Except that you do it in reverse.
Plus, there's the thing where, as with anything created, there are stages where it doesn't yet look like the picture in your mind - so you have in mind at this stage what he's going to look like, but of course, I don't, which produces a weird sense of wonder, like I've just seen magic done.
Lisa is the creator of Poppets and other art. Talented authors tend to write stories about images she makes. At Strange Studios, in Palm Springs, California, she and fellow artist Benton Warren create fantastical kinetic works. This blog is about Poppets, life in the studio and other strange goings on.

The transition from this one to the one with painted eyes is startling.

This makes me happy.
