I'm only kidding, but thanks to everyone for contributing to my little experiment. I received a lot of really creative ideas but in the end I can only choose one. One idea that really got me thinking about how objects are perceived by people was a human heart pierced by a dagger, submitted by

I'm going to take this idea and tweak it a bit to establish a more pleasing composition, I may incorporate a tattoo flash feel to the piece as well since she seems to be into tattoos. Since my time is limited I am just going to do a quick sketch directly on the wax and start carving. I don't really have time to do a lot of photoshopping so I'm just going to post the different steps within a series of deviations. I will post the first in a couple of hours or so. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to participate and I hope the tutorial is informative on some level, since I am no teacher, feel free to ask questions along the way. I will do my best to answer them when I can.
