I can easily understand how you might be fooled, though. It got me too. This piece of art (no other word can do justice!) was created by virtue of the talents of one Wayne Forrest using Adobe Illustrator. It's a masterpiece made possible by the use of a gradient mesh to create photorealistic vector art. Brilliant eh? For more on these photorealistic masterpieces, clicky this
And before I completely forget to post my little gush-sesh about Kyouya's awesome-looking mansion as seen in Ouran 24, here it goes;)
Gorgeous eh? While I mull in my head whether this could actually work as my future home one day, the features I definitely like are... 2. A 3-year old buys a car on ebay! Haha, so cute! I read another article which said that he loves cars and made the $17, 000 "Buy now" purchase using his mom's ebay account, which she was still logged in to. I think the car was pink and I remember the mom saying that he just shifted coyly in his seat when quizzed as to whether he knew what he'd been up to. This article says he's a whiz at computers so ooh, you just know little Jack Neal's going to own a flash car when he gets his license. Although, he may not decide to wait that long;)
1. The floor to ceiling windows. Look how pretty the lights look showcased like so! I have an official thing for floor-to-ceilings, even if I know that they'll be beelzebub to clean. Of course, if I was rolling in the $ sufficiently enough to have earned me such a fabulous abode, I would hope I could more than certainly manage it's upkeep;) And of course, to fit floor-to-ceilings in more feasibly in my future home (because I think I definitely definitely want to=p~), I'll figure out a way to maximize gorgeousness with easy cleaning. (Having a roof may help hehe...and ceilings which aren't too high...) I'd probably figure out a way to have efficient drapes which hopefully won't cost the world=p
2. The balcony on the top floor=D I(You can see it better in the winter shot.) Isn't it gorgeous? Probably a personal bedroom balcony. I suppose that you could even have a balcony all around the top half of the building, like a mezzanine, from the way the two stories are structured. Although, if I were to do that, I'd find a way to have a more private bedroom balcony...
(3). Special mentions are the recessed staired entryway and the arc-shaped arrangement of the house. (I imagine this just spans the front, because i think it would be less artistic and more ridiculous if the whole house was round or elliptical or the like!) Nicely fits in with the floor-to-ceiling windows. All you need is a breathtaking vista to behold and you're set! Just imagine that you've got a huge jacuzzi somewhere strategic and you're looking out at heaven-on-earth while you're soaking. Ahh...
Some other stuff I've come across...
1. Did you know that swans are monogamous? That's what it says here. A German swan couple set to join the star-crossed ranks of Romeo and Juliet! A rare black swan has fallen in love with a white plastic paddle-boat designed in the form of a swan and biologists are worried that this poor swan will spend it's life pining away for the plastic swan! Aww...true love XD
