Cheers Tipua. Symmetry? Don't look too close...

Benz, it's always cool to hear your encouragement. I hope the latest one will be my best each time I finish them up. Some make me happier than others, but I always try to at least try something new, whether it be technique or design.

Here's one that had been on the backburner for quite some time - I had trouble working out where to go with him, due to my policy of doing virtually no drawing or preplanning and pretty much making these up as I go. Fortunately I had a breakthrough of sorts today and got it finished.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it's drilled right through from end to end, and hollowed out extensively in the mouth (for obvious reasons!). The tongue locks in tight against the roof of the mouth. The arm holes and eyes are also drilled through to meet the interior space.
He's loosely based on the putorino and also some bone chests I've seen.

Sorry about the lack of progress pics on this one...no batteries and no time to stop anyway!
