Frankly, I find these images disturbing and freakish. Perhaps that is the intent.

Thats strange. On the forum where I got linked to these pictures, the members there are saying the same thing about it, it's freaky!! For me, I find these pic well made but very far to be freaky.

It's the concept of the valley of the doll, or the valley of the real, which was a graph that charted how the closer an inanimate object looks to reality, the more disturbed we are by it. It's one of the reasons video game developers always make their characters have some strange quality to them, and why they've avoided realistic texturing. It's... off putting.

Yeah... The Homer is particularly well done, but deeply unsettling. I think the real-looking skin texture etc results in us (or most of us) looking at the picture as we would a real person - which, obviously, means we see a weirdly disfigured freak.
