Wiggle wiggle, shiny wiggle!
Heh it looks uhm sweet.
I want to poke it but I can't which is slightly frustrating as I'm sure it be satisfying to do so

Sweet like jell-o. It's a weird feeling when you want to touch something in a picture.

More some drug dummy eh?

Amazing project anyways

We almost smoked tinfoils, did we not?
There are tons of designer drugs out on the streets.
Something about testing lsd on soldiers in the 60´s.
Just some unknown or secret agency is watching the
effects of new drugs on people... possible?

Only steam, tasting bitter ...make sure you got some cig lit.

I really love this.... The jellied flesh gives me tactile impressions that repulse me a bit.... and I think the subject removed from its intended context and showcased this way, as art, redefines the object. 
.... it reminded me of a little book I found once in a clearance bin. It was a photo book of wax replicas created to teach anatomy (before it was widely acceptable to use corpses) In the book there were creepy photos of ancient looking uncanny organs ..... imagine those fake wax fruit bowls filled with livers and intestines and hearts .... but the cherry on top of the whole thing was the presentation.... it was a 4”x4” book about 2” thick.... with beautifully lit carefully taken photos. There was a lushness and a prissiness to the book.... like it should have contained trivial details and beautiful photos of teapots or something.... It had the weirdest feel.... it was jolting.
Your piece isn’t prissy
So I see something in it that is new and exciting to me.

Thanks, I wanted to play up the gel a bit more but I learned a little. The original would make a great sculpture.
I can imagine the book you mention. Funny they took such care in photographing the objects.
You know what they say, the first bite is with the eye!

Thanks, I got carried away with the "study". I think the reference is a work of art, it's unfortunate that they hack it up with swords :]
Or maybe that is part of the art?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes perhaps, part of the process. Some art isn't made to last (long)

So this is where Buster ended up after the cancellation of Mythbusters!
Awesome work... actually looks translucent. You captured the reflective sheen really well.

I think I did a mediocre job actually, but thanks.
Ha! Did you watch the reincarnation of the show?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn’t say it’s mediocre, especially compared to most studies I’ve seen... which tend to consist primarily of line sketches and scribbles. I think your forms are slightly exaggerated here, but I assumed that was a stylistic choice?
No, I haven’t seen the new show yet. Heard it wasn’t too good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the new show wasn't very good. I'll leave it at that.
I focused on the effect, but I got a little obsessed with the realism as well.
I got obsessed with details too. My form is a bit off, agreed, but what did you notice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have to say, it’s really damn close to the original, but there’s a very slight thinness to the head of yours... which I actually like. That’s why I thought it was a stylistic choice. Everything else, even your colors, are spot-on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I made stylistic strokes at first but my obsession with accuracy took over in the end,
I tried to retain some style but got carried away. I painted this side by side (no trace or tricks.)
Actually, the one trick I used was some color picking.
I didn't intend to copy the original but I obviously did in the end. I partly lost sight of style ;]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does have a slight stylistic flair, but I like that, as I mentioned! I can also see that you kept very close to the original reference, though. Closer than I would, for sure... I use references as well, of course, but I end up going off into tangents as I draw. I tend to choose certain areas for reference, like a hand or a general pose idea, but I fill in my own details or extend/exaggerate certain areas.

I hope I don't let you down.
(I need a backlit keyboard, I think I fixed the typos.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I ordered a new computer and said I wanted a backlit keyboard too...
Sad to say that when it came and I set it all up, No backlit keyboard....
I don't mind typo mistakes, it is enough that you make beautiful art....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Get your money back or get it replaced!
A backlit keyboard seems a vanity but for me it is useful.
I like to paint in the dark, just the monitor's light, so a lit keyboard would be great.
Alas, I'm poor, can't afford the things I want ;]
