Default Flat Plane Little Person, Inspired by Gene
Here's an attempt at a flat plane little person, using Gene's style. He's 1.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall.

Great work Claude! I really like the way he turned out. Are you planning on painting him or leaving him natural?

Good paint job Claude .. Man how a little paint can make a difference ..

I really like the way you washed it and let the wood show through ..

what a great looking little character you got there ..

He will be a great little mantle piece for the home ..

Good job

Gene
