I threw in the 2nd edition halfling to compare size.

The backpack is his battery, I plan on drilling a few holes placing some thin copper wire from that to his brain.

I did this in about a day. was good fun, hoping that everyone likes him.

I already comented on TBB, but he's a fun fig. He'll look great on the pitch.

I like this guy. He's kinda funny. The look he's has his mad face on, how cute.

I think deadlings are an ideal starting point for sculpting as long as you don't get over zealous with the details (wight deadling comes to mind).

When someone can do this

then 18mm isn't a challenging size.

maybe its just the camera, but he does look much better in real life.

is there something you would change?

Yeah i think it's the camera. Willards face is so fuzzy, it's almost as if the photographer focused on his fingers.

The rear of the fig looks a little "untidy", with siome flakes of GS on the boots and left arm.
Also, is he meant to be wearing sleeves or not, as from the arms he seems to be, but there doesn't seem to be a cuff line, defining the end of the sleeve and the beginning of the hands.
Finally, there seems to be a lack of detail on the back of his left hand (can't see enough to comment on the right).

Please take these comments in the soirit they're intended, as it's a much better job than I could do.

I like him especialy the exposed brain.
I didn't like the backpack at first but after reading the description rather than just oggling the pic it sounds like a fun idea

I think over all pose and certainly design is just great. It does suffer from a certain ruggedness and edges are very unsharp. These things come with practice and as long as pose and balance in a figure are right from the start that shows that you have a "feel" for sculpting. So personally I'm expecting far better work in a not to distant future.
A great start.

Thank you guys very much for the feedback. Will definately take everything in stride to help sculpt better.

quick question, how does one get sharp lines? mine always appear rounded. should I be using a hobby knife?
