This is a really beautiful piece, Ali! Great work! The lighting really brings out the romantic tone set by the two pipe-lovers. I even like the way you did the hex bolts around the joins. My favorite part is their legs. Human-esque, shapely, yet still recognizably pipe-like. At first I was really digging the triceps on the male figure, but after a while, I started to think it might have been a bit much. Now I like the shading on the arm even more. It grows on you. This is bloody brilliant! Dare I say “steamy?” Yes I do, and pun intended.

Now there is an idea... I should have had some steam coming out of the pipes....lol... considering I made this pic about 5 years ago I think it still stands up to todays graphic standards..eventually I will remake it.. as for the humanesque limbs, i used 2 poser models posed in an embrace, imported them into Rhino (3d modelling app) and modelled the pipes over the figures...considering all i knew about modelling was how to pipe over something i think it worked out marvelously, and on an old computer P2 with 450mhz and 150mbs of ram, it took forever... now my kickass 3.4GHZ would polish it off in no time..
Thanks again for your wonderful comments!!!
My pleasure, Ali. Yeah, some carefully-placed, yet subtle jets of steam would really add a nice touch to this piece. Not that it needs anything added to it. This is really great, especially considering how long ago you created it.
