^^Cool stool!

At that size, the LED would be tricky, it's very tight in the head/neck area. At a larger scale though, that LED idea sounds pretty cool. Although, I might have to get creative with making it in such a way that the battery could be replaced. Should be easy enough, might require some threaded tubing or just some magnets, at most.

I like the chess idea, I love chess and those "nuts and bolts" sets always peak my interest. So, I'll certainly think that over. I've already got some ideas in my head! My gosh, I need to grab the sketchpad!

Thanks for the input.

*dust cloud heads towards pen and paper*

Usually I do multiple wires but the wire screen might be much easier. I've seen it used similar types of armatures for sculpture. Thanks for the idea and compliment.

Doh, thanks, fixed. Weird, passion isn't one of the words I usually have to think about the spelling of.

Haha. EVERYONE seems to be saying that. I never noticed it at all, then I post it up on a couple sites and it seems nobody misses it. The frog face. At its current size, adding teeth would be a bit difficult. I certainly will add teeth when I do the larger, final piece.

It's funny you say that. I've got 2 other similar test pieces, one is in a dive bomb pose and the other is sort of gliding but the idea was to have both of their flames hitting the ground to support them in flight. The diver with a fiery explosion at the ground and the glider with a trail of flame on the ground and the fire coming out of his mouth sort of arcing and "falling behind" as he soars. If that makes sense. I did this one without the ground explosions or support to figure some things out before playing with the others.

I'm glad you like the flames because that's sort of where this whole thing started for me as well. Looking at flamethrower pictures for some reason I can't recall. They'll be much more involved, moving forward. Probably remain slightly "stylized" for my sanity but more chaotic and random, twisting, etc.

I'm flattered but I can't imagine you should be jealous of me. Cheers, buddy.

I was mainly playing around with the fire and the dimensions. Sadly the head ended up being so tiny at that scale I just sort of blocked in the general form. So I'm with you on the disappointment there. Hope to do it larger and fix several issues like that and the flames and a few other details.
