Nest of Vipers

ugh, I guess I had to 'finish' this when I started to wierd myself out over the image. Apart from the technical aspects of way too much contrast and being unable to fix a lot of stuff without major reworking, i'm not really wanting to push this any further due to it being odd enough thanks very much Add to this the sqirmy tentacle things being a really good idea that just turned out looking way too Giger, no matter what I did to them. I guess he has this area sewn up completely....

As usual, this was constructed from one base image, that being a toy doll found on stock.xchg (that place is great for inspiration). The rest is brushed in apart from the mouths, which I used reference from ~t-gar-stock, and a couple of the eyes which are actually taken from closeups of birds eyes (again from stock.xchg).

Ultimately I'm unhappy with this image, several aspects annoy me, but i'm unable/unwilling to fix them. Time to move on....
