I took a shot at lessons from Arlene, Ekern and Gene Messer's elves. Otis is done without a pattern as an attempt at something partially original. Still trying and slowly learning.

I agree with Fred - you're improving. Keep working on getting rid of the square corners. One way to tell is to hold the figure up and look at from the feet end, or look straight down on the head end. You'll be able to see clearly where you should take off some more corner wood.
