Mahlikus, may I enter the Sarge character I was working on? I want to make a uniform shirt and straps for his helmet. I'll just make sure my gallery entry gets in 2 days before monday to make up for the 2 days I worked on him before Monday...

This is my alternate (work) account...LOL

Though I post the challenges, it is really not my position to say yes or no so do as you wish. It is just said to start fresh so people do not post old and already finished work. Its as I said though, its up to you more then it is to me. =)

Fantastic piece of work MTB!!

I love the hair, musta taken some time, but seems well worth the effort.

up close he looks familiar but a name eludes me.....from a distance it looks like a young Buddy Epsen, the original tinman, beverly hillbilly hahahaa....but I am nuts so....eh

Really really great job.... top shelf material I'm thinkin! and wonderful use of gi lights and mats!!

[Dickie]

Looks like Ryan Stiles to me, but what do I know...LOL...Anyway a VERY impressive modeling job. The hair is amazing...

Mahlikus,

It looks more like Alan Alda to me, aka Hawkeye Pierce. I didn't recognize the name Ryan Stiles, but a quick google and yup I know him from "whose line is it anyway", but I still think you more closely captured Hawkeye, so give him a martini!

[Mahlikus The Black]

Yeah he does lovecrafty though I would need to flatten his hair and round out the skull for him I think. I think I made Ryan's head too long. Its a first draft anyway so its cool. I will work on him tomorrow. Must get sleep.

[drjjwow]

well im sure somebody in the world looks like this hehe.

Ryan Stiles, I knew it...Damn fine modeling job, Bro! My only 2 crits are 1. ya gotta model
his Adam's apple as it accentuates how long his neck is and 2. his ears are a lot like jug handles, very distinctive as they stick out a lot and look like little C's glued to the side of his head. The trouble with modding his ears at this point is it might screw up the meticulously modeled hair. So take my crits with a grain of salt, as my wife and I guessed
it was him in 10 seconds...Great Job so far...
