Engraving firearms.

Many fine bulino engravings done by hand in Italy from the likes of Creative Arts, Fracassi and others. The artwork is amazing, tedious, and very precise. I read about one engraving, IIRC it was an elephant on a double rifle, where the process comprised of over 1,000,000 "dots" of the bulino tools and took the better part of 6months+ in time

Good luck in your quest!

This level of making is what I'd like to get to someday. Photorealism isn't really my bag but those hunting dogs are stupendous. I'd believe the million dots article. One of my ex girlfriends did stippling with pens to make similar art. She'd spend a day or so drawing the line design in pencil and would then spend weeks stippling.
