LOL, yes patent leather is easier to paint and easiest to texture in a 
render.  However, in terms of sexual power, it does nothing for me.

Thanks Shay.

Yes.  And for slightly skewed reasons, probably not worth detailing. 
But the project isn't finished yet and in fact I would say that to 
complete the image to my own satisfaction, the ritual needs will make 
their demands.  I would say, in fact, that I am engaging ritual in ways 
with equal or even more ambition than in the earlier pieces you mention. 
  To try to be more clear.  Where the project has gone involves 
significant 'ritual' indulgence on my part.  Whether that will come 
across in the end, I don't know.  The indulgence is the process.  The 
image is, in some regard, merely a byproduct.
