An 'Inspired by Nature' piece, from

's suggestion: Bismuth.
"Bismuth is a brittle metal with a white, silver-pink hue, often occurring in its native form, with an iridescent oxide tarnish showing many colors from yellow to blue."
This is probably the most detailed IBN piece I've done so far, and the most colorful. It was also one of the most challenging. Still, it was very fun to do. ^_^
As usual, feel free to shout out any thoughts/ideas you might have on what sort of character this is, or what to name him/her/it (I didn't have a specific gender in mind while drawing this one, to be honest).
Also, if you have any suggestions for future IBN designs, go ahead and post them in my journal:

You could call it Itzel (Rainbow lady). From the looks of it, it could pass as some sort of ancient, ancient deity, or some form of psychic/telekinetic being with the flowing pieces.
When I tried to design a character around it, I had him with a bismuth bracelet that would sort'a grow into a giant arm gauntlet.
