Hands

Quick painting I did over the last few days for the hell of it (and to practice with values, which I recognize I rather suck at). Inspired by hypnothalamus's recent piece entitled "Homunculi." I loved the idea of replacing feet with hands. Browsing through my references folder, I came across a photograph by Morgu which I heavily referenced for the pose and values. Used nathie's skin brushes to add texture. I couldn't really think of anything to put in the background, so just left the base gradient in there. There's a version of this I'm fiddling with where they have tattoos, but I'm not sure I like it much.
Trying out a new signature, though. The old one looks boring.

Also, while I intended this to be more sensual, I realize that it can easily be interpreted as sexual, so I'm throwing a mature content warning for both nudity and sexual themes.
