Wow. That's awesome. Seems a little to the left though...

Did you have a live model for this one?

:D

I had to borrow this one. She's the real thing though.
But I know they are available as very good replicas between $1500.00 and $2000.00.

A real one is a bit more I think. Not sure, it's been a long time since I looked.

Great stuff, a most kickass skull if there ever was one. Maybe just a few nice sharp highlights on the sternum and front plane of the ribs could bring out some more dimension the rib cage as a whole?

Oh how lovely!

Just out of curiosity, did you lay down the base color and wipe away the areas of bone to reveal the white canvas underneath? This doesn't look like a very think painting, that's why I asked.

I love the spray of light above the head.. as if you're hinting at the mind that was once encased in the skull.

I'm a little slow getting back sorry. Ummm. . this is only the under painting so yeah it's on the thin side. I have another shot to post that's a little farther along. I didn't do any planning for this. Just started right into it like automatic writing and letting it take me where it will.
