Default Homer Revised

I worked on the sugestions given the other day and thought I would give another look. I worked on the face and chin area. Let me know what you think. I also tried take one of the back.
I don't know if I mentioned it but he is 4" tall pretty small for me.

Ron, you did a great job with the chin and the face. Makes it look better although the original looked good to me. I also like what you did to the arms, setting them back a little.

4"!!! That's the amount my gouge takes off with a swing of my mallet. Pretty small Ron.

I once carved a 4 inch canoe, but a figurine... Ouch! My fingers!

Looks pretty good, almost like that Indiana Jones fella.

Great job Ron really looks good and that is incredible only 4 inches tall. You always amaze me with your carvings but more so with your ambition I havent picked up a chisel since before Christmas.
