Likes it, maybe you could try the white vines again, in the back, if you made them a little smoother, otherwise i think this is looking good as is.

eamon, i think i might give the plants another shot. if i can get the lines clean enough maybe it could work

Not to build tension. but i feel the arms could use just that. Decent time for a nice sinewy elbow or forearm the area just below the wrist could be shown off. But this is just putting sparklers on an already tasty devil's food cake.

..to bring the degree of detail in the lower half up to the caliber of the upper.

Really awesome piece, man. I love the color and the composition and what you did with the petals. So creepy though, you glorious bastard.

this is really good, i love how much of your hand is in it. there is an interplay between flat art and sculpted dimensions that is really pushed here and for the most part really works. the concept is great too

You owe me about 4 prints right now so well make this 5. I know i'm chiming in a little late but i feel you could get into those arms a lil bit. arms do feel a little rubbery. I'm into the whole withering beauty death feel. real metal, your giving death a kiss style. cheers.
