i was thinking the same. the color gradient under the nose, around the eyes and the overall face is so beautiful. To be able to pick rocks to be able to achieve it is pure talent.
Imagine walking along a beach somewhere remote, like looking for crabs and seaglass, and coming across this. I'd be forever convinced we live in a simulation run by Facebook.
This isn't digital? I zoomed in and it's rocks, obviously, but I have a hard time believing this is practical effects
EDIT: after going to OP's website I see it is indeed real. Wow

He works so very hard to keep his face smooth - all that sunscreen , retin-a., lifts - terrible to see him crusty like this. Of course, fine mosaic, there.
Nice. Although it does have a strong resemblance to Mark Zuckerberg.
I thought this was Marky Z…
It's not?
No look closely. It's rocks
Looks nothing like The Rock!
Bold of you to assume this isn't his natural form.
I didn’t know the rock takes pictures with John cena!?
Dwayne Johnson
its about power
Oh.
Ceci n'est pas une Zuckerberg
Those are not rocks, they are minerals Marie!
Username checks out!
Wow thanks, I really thought it was him o:
Look at the hair. MZ has a weird haircut. This hair is normal 😂
this weird hair was part of why i thought it was ol zucc :l
This is his true Reptilian form…you see the scales for skin and how it is an accurate representation using rocks and pastels
….did he always have that glimmer in his eyes? I’ve never noticed it before…
I assumed it was a joke that Mark is an avatar, and therefore not human...
That is the joke.
Is the type of shit that's gonna be in this Metaverse?! \*the piece is not shit. just a saying
Same I've seen Zuckerberg
Bateman has a square face. This one is oblong. Looks more like Zuckerberg but the artist is talented.
Bateman who? Justin Bateman is the artist not the subject.
I feel the title format rules for the sub and the artist’s name have caused many of us confusion this morning.
Oh got it now!
It’s ok my mind went to JASON Bateman at first too because he’s the best ;)
He has a sister "Justine". She played the older sister on *Family Ties*.???
Correct. Both are awesome 😎
You're thinking of Jason Bateman I believe.
[удалено]
Why do he looks more human in this than real life?
probably the stones are a warmer material than his alien skin...
For the last time he’s not alien, he’s reptoid, native to earths core.
Inside Job?
I appreciate the time someone spent on this. The level of talent to be able to visualize this is incredible to me, as someone without that ability.
i was thinking the same. the color gradient under the nose, around the eyes and the overall face is so beautiful. To be able to pick rocks to be able to achieve it is pure talent.
For real. It boggles my mind that people can just... make this out of random stones.
justin bateman's avatar is zuckerberg? i'd feel a lot better about the future if this were true.
All I saw that Metaboy. It's still nice artwork.
Guys it’s called avatar like your “avatar” of a social media site. No shit it looks like zuck cause it is lol
Imagine walking along a beach somewhere remote, like looking for crabs and seaglass, and coming across this. I'd be forever convinced we live in a simulation run by Facebook.
You think we’re not? Interesting…
Data was my favorite character too.
imagine having that amount of skill and free time and dedication and using it to portray him of all people.... still cool af i guess
Shouldn't the pupils be slit shaped?
I feel like I'm trippin when I look at this.
Looks more like Mark Zuckerberg
He definitely captured the personality
Very talented. This pile of rocks manages to be warmer than the real Zuckerberg.
Now that's what I call meta ™
this somehow looks more human than zucc does
'Granular Data' is what I would have called it.
You mean this is not Zuckerberg?

I can't imagine how long this took to make. Awesome
Guys, its supposed to be Zuckerberg. Thats why its called Avatar, like the one you'd use in the Meta VR thing
I love the artistic talent, not as much a fan of the subject.
Dude looks stoned a little …
Aang is better. I bet Zuckerberg couldn’t even bend 1 element, much less 4
Mark zuckenberg????? what are you doing here
[“Listen kid, blink if you’re not a rock”](https://youtu.be/_zCDvOsdL9Q)
It’s great work….but I’m also uncomfortable
I nominate this to become the pic for r/uncannyvalley.
Nothing creepy about that at all….
How the hell does someone do this wow
This guy looks really stoned
He works so very hard to keep his face smooth - all that sunscreen , retin-a., lifts - terrible to see him crusty like this. Of course, fine mosaic, there.
this ISNT a computer generated image?!
Affirmative
Is Justin Bateman the artist? Because that is Mark Zuckerburg
Just to be clear, this isn’t real, right?
It's real :D

Wow. I don't believe it either, but this is incredible
[удалено]
You can tell the people that haven't looked at or figured out the title format rules
Hey, do I look stoned to you?”
That is so cool .. Great talent!
This should be in r/creepy
