MY GLOBE DIED D: The still life that I spent the last two weeks working on... the globe died, so now I have to find the globe, replace the old one from a really awkward position, and hope its the right temperature .... Hating life, so I decided I'll put the still life up. I think its about halfway, still need to do another pass over the mask and all of the background.

It's almost the end of the year D: Don't know whether or not I have improved as much as I wanted to or not.. theres still time!

Here the still life.. siiiiiiiiggghhh. You can see a direct application of this in my personal work though which is why I did it. Applying studies and all that jazz :P


Muscles:
(I tried to put these in the order I did them, in the revision pages I have gotten move confident building figures from my imagination as the week goes on.. I think....)













And I'm done with the front of the torso :D
I added the back side of the torso to this piece






And the personal piece I have spent the week working on, Crypt Cat. Was a thing we started at the Bali workshop, kind of like a mini-bloodpsorts. I didn't have any other ideas to work on so I just went with this.
At this stage I am really looking for feedback on my values, I hope you can tell where and what everything is. I am going to alter the monkeys face value wise as something is off on it but I am not sure what. I also pushed my knowledge of composition to the limit. Any feedback would be appreciated.
