It really is amazing how much your traditional work looks digital. You must've spent a lot of time perfecting your style. Did you do anything special with the actual pina colada? It has this texture about it that makes me think it has a little something extra in it.

You have great eyes because I put white pearl nail polish on the coconut milk!
Even the wood background is shiny because the mix with light pastel and gloss varnish. I wish I could take a picture to show you but it never looks as good on photo as it does in real.

Thanks! I'm a trained editor. At first I thought it was paint, but white pearl nail polish, that's ingenious! Is that what's giving it a bit of a sparkle?

Yes! I have no white pearl acrylic with me but I have a tons of nail polishes so why not using them?

Exactly! Though I don't think I've ever seen white nail polish.

Holy Crap. :Jawdrop:
Is this for an exhibition? And do you ever sell such pieces?

Not really for an exhibition, well not yet! I'm trying to produce pieces around tiki theme. I want to make ten pieces at least, it will be a challenge for me to stick to a theme so long. But yeah they will be for sale, I just don't know how much right now, I really like it
I intend to start by cute pieces and as and as we go further in the island, I want to go deeper into the creepy stuff.
