No. No pics. Something about bandwidth, or something. I'm computer illiterate, so unsure what the actual terminology is.

Cool. You didn't put the scar on his nose yet. Plus the ear is a touch too thick near the top. There is so much detail, but no clear expression on his face. Like he is a doll. Is that your intention? Just thought I'd point it out. (especially since the hands seem expressive) Also he has more of a forehead, but I'm guessing you'll fix that with the addition of his hat.
Very impressive work. :smile:
I'm sculpting a Ludo face now. I'd appreciate any pointers a great artist such as yourself could give. Especially where I'm going wrong with it. I'll post a thread later. :wink:

Yes, I will change his head slightly (adding forehead, scar). I know his ears are thick, but that was intentional to allow easier casting and avoiding breakage points. I also thought about another new head sculpt with a smiling expression.
I'm looking forward to see your Ludo! :smile:

Oh! Great! Maybe you can figure a way to interechange the heads, you know, like they do in stop motion films. That way you only have to sculpt one body.
That might be an unrealistic idea, but it's a thought. :smile:

Yes of course, he will have the bracelet and jewels/toys. But no fairy sprayer.

That's absolutely possible. I may do 2 heads, so the collector can chose which one to put on. :smile:
