I would cut it up and find out how it is made, then make new ones the same way.

2nd that

Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Looks good. You have talent. I wouldn't cut it up though to copy it. You did it once and can do it again. I would suggest a saltwater hook though instead of the bronze ones.

Is that a sticker eye? Personally I'd go with glass eyes or 3D prism eyes at the minimum.

Thanks MAC, I made it with the materials I had on hand. Didn't want to go buy stuff if it was going to be a lost cause duplicating it. I will switch everything up that you suggested on the next one.

Thanks again!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
