Today's sunset:

I worked on the Ku for most of the afternoon today:
I started with the eyes and then started the tongue

Then I did more on the shoulders, chest, and started to block out the headress

Here's the back:

Mouth and headress next...

Here's the progress from last night on this piece:

Hollowed out a lot more now

Faces blocked in:

Legs tapered:

I'll probably put an hour or two into this one tonight to change gears for a little.
