    Looks like an amalgam of a corncob, a cobra head and a short erect penis. You should feel flattered, magikot.

    That's unfortunately the best of the 6 photographs I took of it. It's supposed to be a goldfish - it's easier to tell what it is if you're holding it.

    Took some more with a majority of natural light;

    Not just any fish - a fish pipe with a carburetor.

    I'm afraid to say it looks a lot more like a really unusual shoe.

    When you make a pipe with a bowl volume of 1.5 teaspoons and a carburetor of equivalent volume, you'll find it rather difficult to make any fish appear to have an anatomically correct tail should it be carved in this manner.

    Also, I've never attempted scales on a carving before. This is less final product so much as it's proof of concept.

    Ah...the blunt criticism of Terra Arcanum.

    That's redundantly true. I wouldn't have posted the pictures here if I was certain it'd be praised. Then again, my target consumers aren't within an audience of snarky forumites.

    Missy. She's quite fat.

    EDIT: And, I suppose since you can see my entire gallery from the image thumbs I've used, you all can see this fat cat that used to belong to my grandmother. You all can see my grandmother's fat black pussy.

    Looks to me something Cthulhu would wear if he had human-like feet.
    Try to sell it as an ancient relic dug up from the deserts of Australia.

    That wouldn't hold up - soapstone might be unreactive to most chemical agents, making it an ideal medium for outdoor aesthetic pieces, but it will still oxidize and form a dark patina over time. The oxide layer can be dated and allow the discerning buyer to determine when exactly it was made, or at least the last time the outer layer was sanded off.

    Plus, I don't think any neolithic-era pipes were ever made with a carburetor.

    On the plus side;

    Out in the real world, the only people to say the pipe looks like a penis are gay.

    My girlfriend's gay friends could beat up your girlfriend's gay friends.
