Thanks y'all!
Well, I'll stop being such a bore and I'll post some of the progress pix
of the decanter! More color added! Note: these are the base colors before i apply light shadow texture,etc...But this will give you some idea of the mood and flavor i'm beginning to establish even before the lighting....
Here's a dramatic face on view....

Now here's some progression twirly shots to give you an overview-then we'll close in on some details so you can see how messy this thing is in it's raw stages...lots of cleanup and
going over and double-checking on this one!

Now for some details-first the nosecone/top area....

I'll be doing brain-powered portholes for both eyes of the tikis but also the mysterious skull-eyed theme pervades...as you can see here below..peripheral vision-like the birds!

And the nostrils can also act as "eyes"-Clever,eh?

Note the scarab/tribal motif running down the bridge of the nose here..
Now we proceed to a few SuperClose-ups...
I made the little fellow Green and with a third eye,a subtle homage to the Creature from the Black Lagoon or Waterfall-depending on if you ask TikiShark or Chongolio...

and the one-eyed two-beaked orongo is looking quite glyphic in his mannerism,almost taking on a ganesha or shiva aspect with his four arms....

Now for the bottom..Note the beginnings of the mechanisms of the legs and the hidden tikis in the machine!

Of course, they would bring life to distant islands in distant galaxies,so what better ambassador than a palm......

or a pineapple...

That's my progress for today! Next few days.....the beginnings of the lighting!!!!
