Steve, these look great!

The wife really loved these. Especially the eyes.

On the 2nd picture she said she could see a "story in his eyes".

Very well done!

Maybe the story in his eyes is the fact that the elves need to pick up the pace a little bit...

What really grabbed both of us on him was the paint hues and amazing detail.

You got yourself some new fans!
