Default SlowPoke

Sometimes the planets align, you hold your mouth just right, and think pure thoughts and a carving turns out well (at least thats the way it seems for me). It must be magic or some other force beyond my control, cause certainly all of my carvings aren't as good as I envisioned them in my mind.

This little guy (started with a 1x1x3 inch block) was one that I think turned out pretty good. I used Lynn Doughrty's wet-paint method (I know he didn't invent it, but I learned about it on his
blog), and havent put any poly on it yet.

I picked the nickname of SlowMover cause my legs don't work very well and I don't get around very fast anymore, so it just seemed natural to call this guy a SlowPoke. I am going to carve another small 'poke, and see if I can duplicate my success.

Critisism welcome as I want to improve, thanks for looking a my little guy.
