By any chance did you get the idea from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere? There's a character who wears rings from bird skulls. And what tools did you use to make the silver rings?

no, i never read that, any good?
but bird skulls are much too fragile to wear as rings anyway
tools: well, i'm not really well equipped ... standard blowtorch with fine nozzle, silver solder, fretsaw, small files, dremel with drills and some sanding and polishing heads, that's about it ...

Pretty good indeed: Inhuman assassins out to kill a girl with supernatural powers in an underground world for a mysterious purpose.
Thanks for the list of tools, I've been planning to start metalworking soon.I very much appreciate it.

*squints* I can't tell if that's a tattoo...or a real skull. VERY nice though. *nods*

Great photo. The color adds a lot to the atmosphere and so does your warpaint.
I'm wodnering if it was even better if everything was placed a little bit more on the right side of the picture so that the overall composition is centered and not only the hand. But I might be wrong this idea, so please ignore and forgive me if this was intentional.
Congrats for the cool photo and rings!

I really like the composition of this piece as well as the slight iceblue hue. And the rings are damn impressive, I must say.

i started this hobby with melting down old silver coins, but that's a bit complicated, now i buy silver sheets and wire...

basic rings are not too hard...
but setting stones is a bit tricky without the proper tools (which are too expensive for a once in a while hobbyist like me...

it reminds me of a pc game cover or something along the lines of that. Warcraft III, Diablo II kind of thinking.
Very well done.
I like it a lot.

Wonderful. It makes my imagination run wild. I love the way you pose and how your face is back in the shadows, but still a threat with the war paint. I love it.
