I guess it's more an historical thing. Bert Monroy is a digital art pioneer 
and he's been famous for a couple of decades now for his photorealistic 
work. He's probably one of the first computer artists to have a real 
following. This kind of piece is really a showcase for his 
Photoshop/Illustrator skills (and books, lectures, TV shows etc.).
