My poor DeviantArt fans have to put up with another censored picture. You guys get to see the original version! Three more pictures to come in this series.
-----------------------
Food prepared fresh and served live requires an extraordinary level of skill from the cook. These appetizers prepared by Chef Anita reflect the care and attention to detail that has made Anita’s reputation highly regarded in the fine dining community.
Here, the skewers are fully inserted through and the appetizers must remain fresh until the moment they are eaten. Appetizers that have succumbed from the preparation process are not acceptable for serving and should be discarded. A skilled chef will ensure that the amount of wasted food is very low. Ideally, the appetizers will still be capable of large muscle movement while being served, as many consider this a key indicator of freshness, and the dining experience is significantly enhanced if the appetizers move inside the diner’s mouth while being consumed.
A variety of presentation options can be used when preparing live appetizers. Tonight, Chef Anita has decided to truss the appetizers’ limbs using string made from an edible material which dissolves on contact with water. Trussing the food creates a pleasing visual presentation, but requires a large amount of skill in tying such small specimens. Excessive tightening can lead to discolouration when the food is served live.
Tonight’s VIP party is being hosted for a very high profile entertainer. Because of this, Chef Anita has selected a rare treat just for this guest. Thanks to the restaurant’s long history with its live produce supplier, a rare specimen has been set aside for Chef Anita. In this case, the specimen is in the late stages of calving, as indicated by the swollen size of its lower torso. These are not only rare, but are highly prized by many fine food aficionados due to the heightened stimulus of dining on these specimens.

As always, I just love your work, man. Also, I am glad that you are getting settled, as the uploading of this image would suggest.

Thank you for the kind feedback! I'm actually far from settled right now, but I've had some downtime this week, and was able to do some Photoshopping. I'm typing this from a coffee shop as I still don't have Internet, lol.

Being impaled like that, how could they survive long enough to be presented to the customers? O_o
Posted by donutwish 12 years ago Report
A) It's fantasy, so we can take liberties with the realism of such things as human anatomy and trauma injuries.
B) There are many 'real life' examples of people being impaled in various ways and surviving.

Yeah. *^_^* I have a bad habit of trying to make my fantasy more realistic. I suppose it's my brain's way of trying to interpret and understand everything it receives (or conjures).

Your avatar is a talking pony that was formerly banished to the moon, so I think a bit of high fantasy is ok!

Oh god, I've been waiting for this forever!
Posted by donutwish 12 years ago Report
I hope the wait was worth it! Also, I'm not done with this series yet, so there's more to come.

Given your avatar there, you might want to watch your back for that chef. You might be next on the menu! D: Your kind is considered a delicacy.
