The devil is in the details

This was one of my early carvings. I was hesitant to share it given the many mistakes I made along the way. But once I painted it, I appreciated how rustic and classic it appeared, which makes me question some of my earlier work that never had the chance to get painted. Moving forward, I think it's best to follow through despite the mistakes.

A new style

I've been experimenting with different styles for my puppet heads. I usually default to big eyes with eye color but I was playing some ps1 style games and the graphics gave me an idea to reduce the size of the eyes and only use a small black dot for the pupil with no color. A more simple approach but i think it gives a more rustic style. What do you think?

Tips: the flesh is weak, which is good! If you cut off too much on your zombie caricature, no worries its supposed to be like that! Mistakes can add flavor with zombies.
