I commissioned this piece quite some time back and I was very keen on having my extra piece of Dumb Luck done up. I thought it would be intriguing and a good idea to see it 'steampunked'!
This sculpt by Gary Baseman is one of my personal favourites. Hence, I have no regrets seeing it in a different style and finish. To be honest, as discussed with the Dok, this piece itself is already very finely balanced. As I requested goggles for it (making reference to Amy Sol's "To You From My View" and the notion of riding on a Vespa with goggles), I took quite a stunner to see it done quite differently. And I love it. Apparently, the toxic is of glow-in-the-dark liquid.
Simple yet refined, I'd say. I am more curious to see the eyes (googles) in person soon. Big hands to the Dok. I hope he does decide to continue to do private commissions in the future.
More shots:
"Venom is collected from a gland just behind the tear ducts of the dorsal eye cluster on a full grown worm. The collector may be required to physically grapple with the invertebrate to subdue it. Occasional bodily injury may occur but loss of life is rare and can be easily avoided by simple and swift removal of any bitten limbs.. Do not breath venom vapour ..."

That is so frickin' cool!!! I LOVE IT! We need to see some GID pics when you get it.
Glad that you fancy it too.
Yes, I shall TRY and take GID shots, though I don't think it glows that significant to be able to take a clear shot.
Cheers mate ;)
