Default Dodo caricature finished (whew)

Well here he is finally. I have started wondering if I am getting carried away with the habitate/presentation stuff. Honest opinions on that subject appreciated.

Forgot. This is going to be titled: "I think I can, I think I can"

ROTFLMAO....love it! Great set up and the setting makes the whole carving come together. Think of it this way....how would it look without the rock, frog and plantlife? Plain....oh hum! But.....with the addition of those elements.......well, it cracks me up!

Great job, well worth the effort, I'd say. Keep up the good work.
