German-based artist Mike Dargas has created an exquisite collection of female portraits that feature women's faces dipping with sticky honey. Every single image is created with impeccable detail that brings the women to life even though they are hand-painted. The intricate oil paintings are a true testimony to Dargas' artistic skill set.
The images present a sultry vibe as the women are forced to close their eyes to shield them from the gooey substance. Many of the portraits present the women with open mouths as the sticky honey slowly drips onto their tongues.
Most of the images expose women drenched with golden honey but there is one image that uses a deeper brown-hued honey substance. Although the images are not real, the viewer can gather a sense of what it might feel like to be completely covered in honey.
