I think it looks great...especially for just your second carving...and it doesn't have to be as good as Gene's.

Add a little color Lefthand! You'd be surprised how much it will bring that carving to life! Nice job!

Nice job on the wizard. No, it doesn't look quite like Gene's, but it still looks like a wizard. I'll second Eddy's suggestion: add some color.
