Originally i was going to carve him so that a martini glass would fit in his hand, but it didn't work out that way, so here he is... thanks anyway, foamy, for the inspiration! i took him with me to Benzart's place last week for some critiquing, and Benz gave me some pointers, so i ended up tweaking the hands abit, based on his comments.. I teased him as best I could, Ben! Thanks for lookin' ! [ Edited by: Palama Tiki 2005-09-26 17:53 ]
