Hey dude, Really nice work man. I really like the weight the character has. The only thing thats a bit off to me is the feet especially the finger near the ankle. But looking pretty fab overall man

Looks great! My only comment would be to stagger the footprints behind him a bit more and reduce the fresnel on the tree stumps (unless it's supposed to be a marsh). That house backpack kills it, so awesome.

phaselock · Apr 2016

Turning out to be a lovely surreal piece. I like it !
