I hope you're gonna work this one up into a painting! That's a real nice study of one of my favourite pieces. I can feel the burnished patina from the shading...
Tama and I were just talking about this god/carving (Rongo) the other day - the guys in Rarotonga have a plaster replica (in the local museum) made from the original in the British museum that they copy for the tourist market.

Thank you Paipo, it looked pretty weak but I just kept at it and now it's finally looking good! That and I got a better scan....
Working on this piece got me wanting to paint again, this pencil stuff takes almost as long ...but no color.....
Could I interest you in a trade? Some 2D work for some resin, no not bong resin!

Keep on ROCKIN in the free world!
