Commission and quite possibly my most detailed regular fig yet. Based of the classic British comedy 'Life of Brian', 'Bwian' is my first full 360 painted figure (excluding sides of torso. Wanted to sculpt his hair, but the heat at the moment made the clay too dry to work with, so painted instead. Seems I'm slowely incorperating my 'artwork series' style of painting into regular figs (many different shades making up one part). Hair is prime example of this, but so is the torso basis, which uses very light tan and lots of little white strokes to create a fabric look. All in all pretty cool figure and sad to see it go, but hey, thats why I made it lol.
Also I have 10 legolas heads to work with, so the face styles in upcoming figs, may look fairly similar.
Might do some more 'Python', i.e King Arthur, but I know some others are currently working on those, so he'l be at the bottom of my list.
What do you think?/ Have you seen the film?

I must confess to not being a lover of snakes, but when the gardener at Mt. Coot-tha pointed this sun basking fellow out to us, I couldn't help but take a photo of it. It was slithering its way back under the bush, so its head wasn't visible.
My first snake capture.

Carpet Pythons are a common sight across northern and eastern Australia, with many households unknowingly having residents pythons in their roof - handy to keep rats away!
This large python was photographed in ambush position on a log in monsoonal forest in Darwin.
smooth feels wonderful to the touch.
Not slimey as some people think.
Beautiful patterns.
Beautiful colors.
the front end of the Python was attached to my arm.
I think he was about five ft long so only a little one.
We had a marvelleous day at the Captive Light Repitile Plus photoshoot in Bournemouth. Here's a Royal Python to start off the show. Thanks go to my flickr friends Helen and Sue for telling me about this and for my flickr friend Elle for keeping me supplied with sucky sweets on the car journey.
I'm not a huge fan of snakes but the more I see them at the zoo and learn about them the less intimidating they become.
They are usually asleep or curled under something when I visit but I was lucky to see this huge olive python slithering around on a branch.
The area where the snakes are is also a hard to photograph area and I have never been happy with any of my shots in this area but this one I am happy with.
The Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) is a large constrictor originally native to parts of Southeast Asia. The species, capable of growing to over 20 feet long and weighing several hundred pounds, now also call the state of Florida in the Southeastern United States home. The snakes were first imported into the United States due to demand for the exotic pet trade. Wild populations subsequently became established in South Florida from animals that either escaped captivity or were intentionally released. With no natural predators to keep their population in check, it is estimated that over 100,000 of the massive snakes now inhabit the Everglades wetlands. Researchers have documented the pythons preying on more than 70 different animal species, many of which are endangered and found nowhere else. This has placed the sensitive ecology and biodiversity of the Everglades in peril — so much so that local authorities now ask members of the public to participate in annual hunts of the invasive reptiles in order to control their numbers and save native wildlife.

Morelia viridis
Despite the name, this youngster is clearly yellow - neonate and juvenile Green pythons exhibit a range of colours though yellow is the only form displayed in the Australian population of this species as far as I know. Minutes after photographing an adult in ambush mode, finding this guy was somewhat of a joke - almost too good to be true!!

Also known as Brongersma's short-tailed python, or the Red Short-tailed Python
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
Length: 2.7-2.8 ft.
Toxicity: Non-venomous but quite bad bites (be careful).
The specific name, brongersmai, is in honor of Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma. This species is a sought after among exotic pet keepers, hence its location is always kept secret by scientists and herpers.
Behavior: P. brongersmai is a primarily crepuscular species – usually active around dawn and dusk.
Size/Length: Hatchlings of P. brongersmai range from 25–43 cm (10–17 in) in total length (including tail). Adult males typically range from 91–152 cm (36–60 in) in total length, and females between 120–180 cm (48–72 in) although a few have been recorded at 240 cm (96 in).
Reproduction: These snakes generally look overweight due to their robust structure. and reproduce biennially, producing 12 to 16 eggs (Shine et al. 1999). The species feeds on human rodents in oil palm plantations (Shine et al. 1999).

Back Story ..........................................
Left home at 4:15AM, arrived at 5:15AM.
Rocky and Mama greeted me at the gate.
Food was laid out, both dogs had breakfast.
Daylight is an hour away so Mama and I both
took a short nap. Rocky ran home to the nuns.
At first light we gathered up the food bags plus the camera then left to feed The Leroy Crew.
While going across the cement walking bridge Rocky and his gang of hooligans met us, so that took a few more minutes.
Each one of them demanded their quota of attention, big fun.....;-)
Now the excitement starts.....................................................................
Usually when I arrive at The Leroy Crews turf Tuff Guy is first to jump up on the rock wall and receive his morning meal.
Honey and new puppy run over next to the head monk and wait their turn............... Not Today ! ...............
Tuff Guy saw me alright but his nose was in the air, air scenting.
He smelled something that had his full undivided attention.
Like a rocket Tuff Guy took off for a cement pipe on the edge of the swamp. This is maybe 50 feet away, possibly 60 feet.
Monkeys are going ballistic, screaming, yelling, absolute panic. They all ran up into the trees and onto the nearby roofs.
Sure enough TG had scented a large python coming out of the swamp and into a drain pipe. The Thais quickly started a fire on the other end of the pipe to keep the snake from entering a building used as the temple kitchen, not good !!!
In short order the snake was yard-ed out of the pipe with a strong bamboo stick . Lots of fighting with the snake striking at anything within reach, that included me ! Well, Mostly Me !
.......... Please Don't Try This at Home ..........
Ok, in this photo that's my left hand ah-hold of the snakes tail while walking backwards at a fast clip. Keeping the snakes head as far away from me as possible was the whole idea ! Snake kept striking at the puppy who kept barking at the snake. Monkeys are all screaming in their own state of panic !
Dogs are all barking in a frenzy as the head monk and a few workers are talking real fast about the crazy photo man .. ;-)~

Now I'll answer your first question so you don't have to ask it.
Snake was put into a real large rice sack and transported off temple grounds by a local farmer.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments.
Greatly Appreciated.............................................................
Thank You.

One of the least discussed repaints, but a surprisingly nice looking figure, albeit overpriced and pretty useless.
Morelia spilota bredli
Also known as Bredl's python, this is a very beautiful, rarely seen species that inhabits the central ranges of Australia. Finding this species was one of two special highlights amongst a host of amazing wildlife encounters I was lucky enough to have this passing wet season.
Python bivittatus
A young adult male found on the crawl on a brutally hot and humid morning in extreme south Florida. This snake was an unexpected surprise while checking a trap line for other invasive species and is only the second python I've seen this year.
One of my all time favourite photo models, a young Royal Python. Such a beautiful creature. Taken on a photo day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.

The Dead Parrot Sketch
Monty Python
The Pet Shoppe
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Thanks for viewing and favein.
