This is strange

This is a strange connection but as an artist I can help but shake the fact that the art style looks a little too realistic. The face, the eye placements, the anatomy in whole. I'm have a suspicion the artist either took modelled reference shots and traced over them or is just really good at anatomy. I really hope there's other artists out there that see exactly what I'm suspecting or get why I might come to that conclusion without thinking I'm going schizo... ┗( T﹏T )┛
