Comments: A Lazy, No-Good, Silly-Billy Rat

That photo is not of Socar. That's an exquisitely detailed porcelain doll.

Very painterly. Love the folds; you got them exactly right. The chiarascuro with the head is excellent and El Greco would love the hands. Flemish or Spanish top - so much interaction between those cultures, it's hard to tell - I'm thinking Velasquez. The near clinical light on the chrome with the green behind the black arm is very modern. Nice rich burgundy.

Did you try the face a little lighter and / or yellower? Maybe bring out those highlights a little more?

Really fucking nice, Socar.

First 'Oozy cooze' and now 'Silly-Billy'? No standards left, eh? ;p

That photograph reminds me of that horror movie 'The Ring'. Good job on the lighting, though.
