You have really produced some slammin' work this last year. Thanks for sharing it with us. This tall fellow is really stunning. I love how the headdress goes right down to his butt. If this rough out looks this good now, the finished piece is gonna turn us all on our hedz. Keep going and show us everything along the way!
