I kinda like this shape, sort of a squat thick look. Nice tug shape. To give it more/different shape you could make the mouthpiece out of a couple sections instead of just the one. (i know its technically 2 cause the insert). I would also leave out the reversal on the bottom of the can because it distorts the insert on the front of the can. Nice job on not burning out the purple when making the tube, I don't even see any bubbles.

Is that steel wool just like it comes? I haven't tried any of it yet, but I've been seeing a lot of it so I want to give it a try...

i agree with the reversal on the bottom of the can. and as far as a more sectional mouthpiece im working my way up to that, still trying to keep it somewhat simple so as i know im gonna get paid for it.
cosmo, the steel wool is as comes i highly suggest it, i thought it was just a more workable disco sparkle at first but its really more black than silver.

No prob.
Im not sure what you are going for but I think you are looking for that tugboat shape? I would make the can and mouthpiece into more of a disk shape, and use a seperate elbow to connect the can disk to the mouthpiece disk.
I gotts say though, great color combo on this one.

yeah i hear ya, that was actually what i was trying for on the unobtainium and fire one i posted awhile back. and the results were not so great and i ended up ripping off the mouthpiece and elbow section and doing one similar to this. but i plan on trying that again soon but right now i got too many christmas presents to buy to try something im not completely confident in myself doing
