Ok, Ive started very shortly after the first moai statue of mine working on another one, this one's different, the eyebrows make for a different expression than in the previous one, the cheeks are more round, and the nose is much different compared to the previous one's nose, also I may make eyes for this one, also it's to be noted that the lips are yet missing as the piece of wood I'm making this one from was juuuust a little bit too short in one direction (do you see what i did there? :D) so I couldn't include the lips when cutting the outline, I'm hoping to get very mixed opinions, and questions ofc

Oh, a reply :roll:. Yea, I know, I've compared the previous one and this, and I've noticed many changes and improves in it, also I thought I made this topic for nothing as I have still gotten only one reply lol

JSR, you're right I know I know, maybe this just is ''too much off-topic, even in the standard in offtopicism'' :mrgreen: No, they propably won't walk, as I won't make a torso for them, but if you know some theories about the real giants, they did 'walk' in a sense...Now some more updates on the statue, as the nose, and the lips are made of separate pieces that have different grain, when they would be assembled, and the statue stained, the grain would look somewhat discordant as the grain would look totally different in the nose and the lips, so I ask you guys, should I stain the statue or paint it so the grain would be covered?

I'd go for a stain, perhaps even an oil
