Model and Photographer: Michael Scot [link]
Body Paint: :D

Mike's home studio was the last stop on my October tour. I had the opportunity to meet and work with him in August of 2009 during the "Down on the Farm" Meet and Greet Shootout.
So after spending three weeks in bustling cities, I had forgotten how quiet the suburbs can be. I made it to Harrisburg in the afternoon, had an awesome home-cooked meal and then slept like a rock for a good 10 hours. The following day was a pretty casual shoot, I never made it out of my pajamas!
The design was inspired partly by a pose I had seen here on DA (I can't find it now! My inspiration looks nothing like the final product though :( ) and by the designs of the maori or Native New Zealanders.

This is quite a piece of work! In addition to the great model & pose, we have a great combination of vision & photography. I can excuse the tan line as a part of the lighting. The only gripe I have is that the zipper teeth could be smaller to be more in proportion. This is not a deal killer but just an observation that seems the most obvious to me. I like the color graduation and the bold pattern which centers your attention which then wanders to enjoy the rest of the composition. This is great work and I look forward to seeing more.
What do you think?

This piece is lovely (and the model is yummy to boot!!) Tribal is really difficult to draw, but to paint it onto the contours of a body is really impressive. I love the contrast from Yellow to Blue that was done... The edition of the silver zipper, or even staples was really eye catching.

you really found the perfect model to do this piece. His stance is very 'Tarzan' like, and I think he suits the almost leopard-esque ferocity of the art.

My only dislike (and you can judge me for staring fi you want) is the obvious tan line of his bum. Covering that with some kind of toner would have completed the piece in my eyes.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic and fierce piece, thank you for sharing :)
