MADMAX22 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Not bad for a little guy like that. Figure carving is a whole other ball park (IMHO), kind of like it is in drawing/painting/ or what not. Very difficult to master. Good job, I like how your style carries over to whatever kind of work you try, work on it a little and it will be very good.

SmokinP Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Very nice. Good details for a small piece. Just couple things I seen. Need more boot...look like standing on pegs a bit. For some reason I think a smooth bevel might look better...seems maybe the textured bevel detracts from the figure. And was that gesture with the right hand planned?

TomSwede Report post Posted December 28, 2008 Looking good Josh! I think if you re-wet it just a little bit and and go over it with the modelling spoon and round off/dress all edges and re-shape things a bit with the spoon will give it a lift. The modelling spoon is sotr of a magic wand for me! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
