Re: Mushroom Pipe
That is very cool. Your work has really grown.
Re: Mushroom Pipe
Yep, each gill was individually shaped, they have to taper from wide to thin at the stem, so that they look realistic. I wanted to avoid the Super Mario Bro's vibe that this pipe might give off, if it had been a little more cartoony looking. So I went for as realistic as I could get.BeatusLiebowitz wrote:Wow.

Re: Mushroom Pipe
Seriously amazing. If I owned a pipe like that, I'd use it. And I've never used a pipe like that. Seriously awesome.
