you could always make it scratch and sniff.

You're quite mad you know.

Take away the flies, and this looks mildly tasty

This is a tough one. Perhaps if the "cup" was more of the traditional looking trophy, the kind with a base then some towery looking things topped by another base you could incorporate a gold roll of tissue paper roll in between the bases. I don't think it matters much anyways because the members of forum using this are probably aware or the "poo" trophy, so their brain will see poo not ice cream. I myself saw pudding.

i think something's weird with the perspective, eh?

I could be wrong though because i'm a doofus.

mmm poo.

Oh, and in your gallery it definetly looks like ice cream..
Just on the bottom we can see the cookies, the toaster, the cherries, a cake, some hot chocolate...and a giant poo. Yeah there's a giant poo too.

I tought that the flies were coconut things LOL

I think the odor thing could help, and a flying flie could help too (an incoming one).

Oops, forgot to refresh the page so didn't see fil's comment (and
comments above), perhaps you can add some odor trails above
the cup? lol

Is that poopoolachoo? xD that will be much more funnier
if you make it as big and detailed as the previous piece :D or
perhaps just drawing a cup under the other p...uhm...lachoo stuffie? :)
btw if there were no flies it could look like a cup of
chocolate ice cream or a chocolate ice cream cup
with flies in it lmao. Anyways I would NOT advice to try to eat that, haha
Can you pls give a link to that forum ?

@fil: LOL yeah i can see why it might be mistaken for that. I wasnt sure how to make it more..poo-like though so i gave it flies =p. Any suggestions?

@stitchy: I'll try darkening the poo shadows too then haha xD. and thankyou! :D it was my first try at something realistic

Hehe, ooh, yes... shiney poo is... scary. xD;; Maybe just make the shadows darker, then. /nods
And by the way, I really love your new avatar.

Is it poo? I tought it was some kind of ice cream :s

a/a where? You dont a/a the outer edged of something unless it is going onto a specific coloured BG and even then its usually better to use selout instead. Unfortunately I can not DO selout yet though haha.

It could definitely use some aa.

haha the problem with putting stronger highlights on the poo is that then it looks SHINEY xD. Shiney poo just scared me so i toned that down rofl. I'll try adding some more contrast to some of the colours in the cup :3

Hmm, poo in a cup. xD Very nice. But it just seems kinda flat... perhaps put stronger highlights on the poo, and make the cup seem more... I dunno... solid and full with some darker shadows? I know this is just a small piece, but it could be a really cool one if you worked on it bit  more. o:
