Seriously people, lighten up and have fun, that's clearly a 'neat' music video. Very creative, very fun. Thanks for posting it Neatorama. I love that I can come here and always find something neat, whether it's an image, a story, a video, or a piece of music...
I took the '10 hour' image posted here: http://www.drublair.com/comersus/store/workshops/images/tica_incompletesm.jpg And the 'final' portion shown here: http://www.drublair.com/comersus/store/workshops/images/ticastepwebbig.jpg
I brought them both into photoshop and placed the 'final' on top of the 10-hour to see how they line up and what the differences are... and they don't line up. It's close, but by matching up the reflections in the eyes you can see many subtle differences not just in the color ( which was unfinished in the 10-hour version ) but also in the perspective ( the 10-hour appears to be slightly 'skewed' in comparison with the top narrower then the bottom ) and in the size and angle of several features ( hair, ears, nostril, etc... )
My conclusion: There was definitely a painting made. the '10 hour' image shows a stage of that painting. But the high-res close up shown at drublair.com is NOT the final version of that painting, it is from the original source photograph that was projected onto the canvas for the original trace. Hence the skewing and the slightly different positions and angles.
