Headline: Artist Creates Realistic Portrait Of Actor Cillian Murphy Using String And 78,000 Nails
Caption: An artist has created a realistic portrait of actor Cillian Murphy using string and 78,000 nails. Ben Koracevic, also known as The String Art Guy, dedicates extensive hours to producing truly realistic illustrations. His latest and most innovative project involves sculpting the iconic Peaky Blinders character Tommy Shelby. Koracevic's artistic journey commences with the formation of the head using approximately 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of modelling clay wax. This meticulous sculptural process lays the groundwork for the subsequent stages of his creation. Once the sculptural groundwork is complete, Koracevic proceeds to apply a staggering 78,000 nails onto the clay head. Every inch of the surface is meticulously covered, ensuring a relatively equal distance between each nail. The incredible piece, which is yet to be finished, has so far taken approximately 1,000 hours and used 5,000 meters of string. Though still a work in progress, the bust already exhibits an astounding amount of realism capturing even the finest details, such as eyebrows, irises, and pupils, mirroring the actor's likeness with uncanny precision.
