He's probably illegal in several states (at least in texas).

This model could very well be wearing a lot of makeup - maybe that's what we're seeing? What gives away the airbrushing?

No, no, it's not too much makeup, that would look different. I'm just comparing the 'ergh' effect it generates, not the visual effect.

The shadows on his face in shot #2 (and to a lesser extent in #3) look too smooth, too artificial, like he's a piece of CGI art. Speaking as someone who paints things in Photoshop, it... well, it looks like someone painted them in Photoshop. Or at the very least went duplicate layer/gaussian blur/overlay, the magic forumla for making everything tasteful and pretty. His complexion in #4 looks like it might be a little rough. Hence, one imagines, the heavy-handed smoothing in the daylight shots.

Please don't think I'm criticizing your darling little piece of Slavic jailbait, though -- he's awfully sweet and I want to steal his shirt/jacket combination, conveniently leaving him with less clothes on for the rest of you.

Rialian thinks "airbrushing" is a much better explanation than "maybe he's actually an angel."

Real angels use Fractal Painter, not Photoshop.
