Description
No refs or short cuts used. I'm sure I'm going to have some withdrawal symptons with not having it to work on anymore.
The story behind this ... it kind of arose out of me trying to see if I could draw the same figure again and again from different poses ... well, to cut it short, I ended up liking the figure I was drawing and ideas developed ... this guy (nicknamed Trent) came into creation because of it.
The basic tale of this moment is in the print description but I'd rather you conjure up your own thoughts as to the story because I think, there are many ways of looking at it. Anyway, enjoy my friends! Comments always welcome.
Used Corel Painter

Amazing. Sometimes I try to reuse the layers for different parts of the pictures. But I end up forggeting what is where! So now I'm starting to name my layers (oh the joy of organization!) and I end up with names like "lineart eye mouth arms tshirt". Well, I figure it out that if you pick the first letters of each of those words you can start to create nice names! The previous example gives us... humm.. LEMAT! Cool! Now I wonder... What should I christen with this cool name? ^^

Very nice. You might appreciate the work of martin bland aka spyroteknik. Or of course HR giger. This piece reminds me of that russian sci-horror movie VIRUS. My compliments on the discipline involved in detailing those wires!

it looks like it could be cover for a computer-game from around 10-15 years ago.
wonderful work! those wires - it's insane.

...my take on it... (first though)
It's a piece that shows the possible outcome of man(and woman)kind being to relient on technology and eventually becomes so enveloped in it that it literally takes us all over....
YAY! lol
I dunno, thoguht that popped into my head, even if you never thought that at all, that's what I get from it lol....
it looks like the red wires are going for the nips.... lol.... sorry.... just noticed that...
Also... OMG DETAIL!!!! WOW i AM AMAZED AND UNWORTHY TO SEE SUCH AN AWESOME WORK OF ART!!!!!!!!!!
^^know what I mean?
Great job on this, I am very impressed by your skill... and jealous too haha

Major kudos and a +fav from me!

Thanks for the comment. That is an interesting take on the picture!
This picture took me a very long time just because I took many breaks from it to do other things. It helped to keep it fresh for me as well. I couldn't really estimate a specific time period. Thank you though for the awesome comment and fav!

Ahh thanks sweetie! I used Corel Painter IX.5. I scanned in my pencil drawing and just painted on top of it. I used Photoshop Elements just to adjust things throughout. I mainly use Painter though as I don't have the full program of Photoshop. The layers always come in handy in Painter, otherwise it is just a case of trying to keep your patience. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah okay! Cool ^^ is it hard to use Corel Painter IX.5? and is it hard in learning first? and the wires throughout your submitted picture, have you drawn every single wire in that photo? xD Cause that seem rly hard to do, but very impressive 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No not at all. It's just a case of using it and learning as you go along. I use a pen tablet with it as well which helps. It can be hard to get the effect you want with only a mouse.
I drew every wire individually because of the look I wanted. The same method may not be for everyone. I seem to complicate things for myself, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha wow! a lot of useful info I got there! wow really every single wire by yourself, thats impressive, may have taken a lot of your patience.. but I recognize myself in you hehe. I like making things dificult for myself too sometimes, that way int he end you can really be proud of what you've accomplished

Really well done, the backstory I'm guessing is quite interesting.... this is a disturbing piece, but my guess is that was your intent. Take care.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. It was supposed to have that disturbed feel and I'm glad that it does. It's sort of lost that for me since I've been staring at it for so long. Now, it's probably about time I did something light hearted again, hehe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, light hearted might be good.....

Oh My...wow um wow... I was not extpecting to come arcoss this in my devations. I question you sanity on the amount of wires in this XD. Well first of all you without a doubt captured the emotion and I must say hes petrified for sure. If had to think of a story to go with this I would say its some sort of supper hero story. Like he works at some type of power plant but instead of toxic waste hes falls into the wires and gets his supper power. The amount of detail in this is massive and every wire is outlined and colored to perfection. I'm still at aww just looking at it and wish I had that kind of time and patiences 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, yep this was the reason for a lack of deviations. I had to get it finished before I did anything else. The wires took ages ... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you use any short cuts for the wires or was it done by just stting there and coloring each of them one by one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I coloured each one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I might lose what patience and sanity I have if I tride to do that but I'll tell ya it paid off because it adds so much more to the picture. It would be really cool to see how you did it in stages

wow, this is incredible. the expression on his face has so much feeling and emotion.....all the cords around him are so detailed...this must have taken ages....i know of a competition you SHOULD enter this in if ur interested. all the cords look like they are creatures, trying to take him over...it looks like he has no chance. this would look amazing as a really big poster!!! Such talent girl!!! xoxoxoxo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh really. I'm definitely interested to hear about it. You'll have to let me know!! Thanks for the awesome comment though and fav. It would be cool to make it poster size ... I'll have to consider that idea as well.

ok, here is the link to the competition.....have a read, see what you think

Good Lord! Those wires must have driven you mad! The body language is amazing, so is the general 3D feel of it. I am fond of the subtle shading on the hand. It really draws my attention.
Good job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that's an understatement to say it drove me mad.
I am pleased with the hand overall, especially after changing it a few times. Thanks Kari.

I'm gonna make up my own story behind it and compose it now!
There were gangsters and poor old trent got caught up in them whilst working for MI6. These wern't your average gangsters no they had a proper hideout with all different scientists in the gang. They wanted these scientists to make the most painful way of torturing someone who opposed the gansters. What thses scientists came up with was live wires. They would pump millions of volts of electricity into these wires that made them live and would grab hold of anything it touched whilst electricuting these peopl ... ok it's not a kind of tourture anymore it's more like painful instand death but ya know.
your picture is real powerful so it just make an impression in me ^_^ CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hehe, very interesting story and with a lot of imagination ... has gangsters and everything!
Thanks Kikitue.

mm hmm I didn't put it into proper story format I just blurted it out but yeah thanx for the nice comment ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
depends....its the amperage of an electrical shock that kills you quickly, not the volts...so if the amps were of a low enough rating it is possible to survive short doses of high volts....volts WOULD burn though, so death could be possible from third degree burns....
*rereads that* good lord I'm a nerd...sorry about that. *pushes glasses up*
