Eos' Hyperruppel

Look at him! "New trick? Nah mate, I've been doing this since I was ten." Classic Eos.

This piece always fills me with a bit of dread because I used heavy reference for the head and hands which I wish I hadn't - it makes it hard to feel like this is entirely my own work. Obviously there is nothing wrong with referencing, artists do it all the time. But there are different levels of it. When it comes to this picture, I didn't trace anything per se, but it's something rather close to it and that makes me slightly uncomfortable, which is a shame because this piece turned out so well that I'd love to have it in my portfolio, but now I can't really, since it's not entirely original.
