The birth of Nemo ; Cursed parasitical cocoon

The anatomy on this is kinda weird and not amazing, but it was an extremely experimental piece to begin with that really pushed both my skills with anatomy and posing. It was based around this visual of a New Self emerging violently from the Old Self, and I didn't do that well but I'm still extremely satisfied with the piece.

And it's also my first art piece of Nemo! He's the curse created by August, formed by the memories and body of my other boyo, Nihil, in a botched necromancy attempt. He don't bite (yes he do).
