Ok, I'm seriously getting pissed off with the smartarse idiots out there.

For the record: I drew the Steampunk Gentleman piece of art in pencil, and it was based on a photo. Permission to do the drawing was given by the model and photographer. Pencil on plain paper, scanned in and then (and only then) was Photoshop even touched - all I did was add a lighting filter to it to warm the pic up a bit.

I'm thoroughly sick of people saying it's a Photoshop filter job and that I didn't draw it. Take a look at the rest of my gallery you jerks! Photorealism is my specialty.
