Oooh, as usual I love it. By any chance was that line taken from You're Not Here

"Appear; draped in terror
to the comfort of your kin
Stain the milky sunset red
and let the others in...

Summer's dying..."

that's the problem...we should have time for tears...

*huggles* So pretty. You need to make a tutorial on making such shiny things and make them look so real, or something...
But being the person I am I surely won't get it anyway xD;

I'll substitute your sin for porcelain.

Thank you! And yes it was... this piece was parially inspired by the cathedral from SH3 and the Fukuro video... Glad you liked it, it's been a while since I've done anything... obviously...

I was actually thinking of having this as Mannequin III, as it does seem to fit those other pieces, funny that you should say that... Thanks for your kind words on it

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, just wish I was more imaginative when it comes to backgrounds. I thought, halfway through about putting the legs in front of a ventilation fan, but by that time I was already almost finished... Sometime in the future perhaps.

Heh, thanks. For this one I used a photo reference from a shoot I did with 17seconds for her valentine piece. She was wrapped up in renoyld's wrap, and I really liked the way we had the lighting setup and how it caught that shine, which as you can tell I'm a huge fan of. Basically just followed the pattern of the light from the reference with a wet brush in Painter 9, blurred slightly in PS using the lens blur filter with only the shine selected using approx 10 pixel feathering. Mostly the reference helped. I think as we do not see something like that often in real life, it's difficult to really imagine it, which is why I like to use references. Glad you like it, maybe that gives you the right direction? Renold's wrap someone's body part (heh, let's keep it clean now), take some pictures, and experiment with the lighting... work for me.
