Thanks for the kind words Aweulekuula!

I find your own work to be quite unique and love the smooth curvatures that you pull from natural sources. They look like they would feel great in one's hands!

Now here's an update on my latest carve:

I based him out in blue so that I could see the areas that needed filling and sanding better. Plus I gave him some teeth, though it looks like in this photo that he's missing one. Since I snapped this shot, I've primed him again and after one more slight skimming he'll be ready for his paint job. At this moment I'm thinking of a silver metallic base with several shades of blue and violet glazing. We'll see how it turns out...
