So I am running a fever of 100-101, and I felt like doing a snake tf while I am on the theme of losing limbs.
I imagine it feels like a strait jacket that just keeps getting tighter until it becomes your own skin, or scales, whichever the case may be. You can try to resist it, but the transformation will just find another way to incorporate your extremities into the rest of your body.
Probably not too comfortable, but at least he won't have to worry about keeping track of those pesky arms and legs all of the time.

Very interesting, though there's something about the head that gets me. Looks sort of flat, I think? Doesn't seem to carry the same weight as the rest of the shifting form. Maybe it's just me. Otherwise it's a very interesting concept. Morphing a human into a snake is often a question of what the artist feels like doing and it's cool to see how you managed with this here. I would've done it differently, that's for sure. XD
Get well soon, by the way.

ahh, that is a fault of perspective. I didn't take into account that you would see some of the back of the head in the peripherals, if the center of the image is the focal point. I was thinking of going back and revising it, but actually the weird perspective and lighting present is understated enough that I feel it comes across as surreal instead of wrong. I don't know, maybe I am trying to justify my mistake. lol
It mostly depends on how much time I spend on a work. This one I did in a single sitting because I thought it was a cool idea, but I didn't really want to spend so much time polishing it. Maybe 50% of the photomanipulation is altering something to get it to look the way you saw it and the other 50% is finding errors. The errors are kind of like a fractional exponential though. You will always find a smaller one that you can correct.
There are, perhaps, two ways of viewing it then. You can slave away at the mistakes indefinitely until the image looks "ordinary" or you can adopt the view that the ordinary often has strange illusions and turns of perspectives and try to incorporate this into the image by "embracing flaws". I don't know if I would go with one or the other. The former helps you improve your technique over time and the latter helps you with the final performance of any work.

I can dig it. Y'see, I didn't know how quickly you did this, but either way it's not that big a deal. In the end it's still very impressive and it's my only gripe, which I find negligible. Besides, I'm of the mind about embracing a few errors as well. Flaws do add personality sometimes rather than detract.
