Wonder what was cooking up here.

I think this is well done. It does indeed look realistic. The items around and whatnot. The guts and blood are pretty darn convincing. Gore (I guess) isn't my all time favorite, but this is pretty neat.

Thanks; the objective indeed was realism so i'm grateful that you think so. I'm honestly not a real fan of gore either, but I figured i'd take the options I had available before me a step further. Thank for checking it out

*takes a bite of seasoned Pashmenia* ..."Tastes like.. candy!"

Wow! Man, you weren't kidding when you said this was gonna look realistic! It looks incredible, like I can actually take that knife outta your hand and chop the rest of you up. <3
It is rather a sad scene with tears in it's eyes, but handing the viewer the knife to finish the job, well, it just adds to the deepness of the picture. Why stay in pain when you can end it right now? It makes me wonder where the hell it's legs are! I've heard of frogs legs, but this is like a fantasy come true haha. The juices, blood, and other liquids are also fantastically created. It's got the third dimension feeling with the light and shade on it, same can be said with the rice or grains on the right. Pashmenia itself is very well done being easily seen handing us that knife, perspective. You did it wonderfully. And the iris, or eye, it's like Pashmenia's got a library of irises for every situation, I love it!

This is truly a grand picture, and it demonstrates your skill in the medium of art. I'm so happy for you. So happy.

"Can you feel me Brian. Can you feel me inside you.."

But thanks a lot man I'm happy to hear that you enjoy it so. I believe for this to be up to the viewer to decide what is happening. Seeing as I had no real objective here story wise, it can be a "what if" factor. The theory you had does sounds pretty good though. I had my own inner thoughts of what was going on, but so far you're pretty close to it. Who knows, perhaps this is what happened when you finally took my legs for your back scratcher! Is this what you wanted Mike! *screams in agony*

And haha, yeah, I do have a library of irises. Since Pash never talks in my pics, I like to use the iris as a form of communication and expression for it's current emotion or activity. It's pretty fun.

The oregano.. was it because Patch ran out of Thyme?? -bad pun-

Oh you. That theres' a knee slapper *slaps both knees*

Judging bu the array of seasonings, you sir may have the pleasure of being tossed around in a frying pan.
*Takes knife* Don't worry I'll remove the feathers in your stead and honor your sacrifice 8U.

Anyway, I really enjoy seeing you post and always look forward to your next picture. As per usual your attention to detail shocks me and renders me babbling as you see now.
Spot on color, shading and your textures to the before mentioned seasonings and vegetables are amazing. Well done here good sir.

Honor me by using garlic!!

But thanks dude, I really appreciate it. Detail is so fun to splurge on. With every picture I do, I feel i'm learning more about my tools.

When I saw this piece, I was in the mix of remerging myself again with AFX, particularly on his Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 - his tune "Grass" - giving me a overhaul of tranquillity uncomfortably in the nicest of ways.

This piece, the onions, the mushrooms, oregano. Very wonderful render, and of course the highlight of dear Pash. All very good, and you just seem to be getting better with each submitted submission. Keep up the beautiful work dear bud.

I don't know how I missed this one before.

Yeah, haha.. This is one of my more 'colorful' ones.

...wow.
