You should make an animals folder. Heh. :D
Hmm, may be I will, thanks ! :wink:

The next character, a butcher, shows where the life of a goose ends; at the king's plate that is ! :wink:
Some may think that this scene is cruel, but hey, that's how it goes...

Yet another spiffy fig! The red 'cape' works well for a bloody apron. I also think the head fits the character.

I really don't have much to say, it just works as a whole. Good job and keep up the work. I'll watch for the next one!

Nice. I like the dark tan. Poor goose. My sentences lack expression in this post. Well, to quote the words of JoshWedin:

Very well done. That head is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and it works great for a butcher. Can't wait to see what you have next!

You and your figs never cease to amaze. I really like this one. The lady's legs/dress are quite good. Now if only you have used this for the painting, it would be perfect. :)

:lol: The skills of the painter then become very questionable, and it would be a real offence to the lady. :wink:

Really great (again). I really like the easel and the bench, as well as the figs. The palette is a great idea, and you really seem to like that lever handle.
