    Beautifully done Rik! Definitely in the eloquent style of Mr. Bouton.

    The great thing about this work, is that it gets you to look more closely at it and thinking about just how it was done and the significance of the bits and bobs.

    i remember a while back some people said doing photo-realistic xart was pointless
    let them do something like this and i might take them seriously
    this is technique precision patience and believe it or not imagination
    good job as always rik
    A+
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Frank, I sent Rik the rough, and he had it back to me in a matter of something like two days. Rik is just too modest to remark on all this praise.

    He knows that sound travels twice as far when someone else blows your horn.

    Indeed. Rik has not only shading, but reflective highlights, reflections themselves, and some subsurface scattering that suggests the flow is made of plastic.


    Compositionally, he nailed my sculpture on 1.
