The first time I seen Helnwein's work was on the cover of The Scorpions Album 'Blackout' His work is amazing, his paintings often look like Photo's and are painted on a huge scale, he really does some bizarre Photographic work too.All the pics above that he's working on or are finished are paintings, that close up of the face (middle pic of the 5) is actually Oil and Acrylic on canvas.
Check out his site.

Those are amazing...tho some are extremely creepy.
I'm not really into photo realistic painting, although I admire the effort I can't help thinking, why not use a photo?
I am an artist and my opinion is, of course, the right and only one.

Superb work, very real,but like Michael says,they may as well be photographs.
