Turnip legs.

- Looking it up, it turns out it's an actual turnip, carved to look like this.

  Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it's ~~acrylic~~ urethane with real Daikon leaves:
  
  That's what I was hoping! That's genuinely impressive
This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one
- It's too good for AI, but photoshop, maybe AI in photoshop idk...
  
  Yeah, photoshop is also possible, but I think a human would have tried to make it at least believable (no nails on the toes for example)
- I wonder if this an evolution of the square watermelons known in Japan.
  
  I doubt you could make it have this level of details and I think that technique cannot be used for stuff that is grown in the soil

- It has the correct number of toes so not AI.
Crazy how nature do dat.
