Yeah, I really like what you have, I just wanted to try if I could get it more freeform. Your version with all the highlights is alot more sexy, good job so far!
And the transformation was done by hand with an aquafy brush in Photoshop CS2 btw, gives a little more control, you should try it. It needs alot of cleaning up AA of course, since the computer does a bad job at that apparently (perception based AA is a little farfetched to include in a simple aquafy brush)
