NOTES :
Studies based off Christian Bale when he acted in “Empire of the Sun”. I think he was around 11-12 years old at the time. For reference images please see my WIP thread, there are plenty there.

Yes I have done 16 expressions for the 15 expression challenge. As it turns out, my maths isn’t quite as sharp as I would’ve liked it to be. Roberto let me know if this is a problem, and I’ll just choose one to scribble over or something :slight_smile:

Due to work comitments and other factors Id say i had about 4-5 days work on this, the percentage done over the last 2 days.
I think even this entry was half an hour late over the deadline (but concidering it took over an hour to get the files uploaded and linked I think its amoot point :slight_smile: ), as always my life never fails to totally obstruct a simple and uneventful idea of the HCM challenges running smoothly with fluffy bunnies and blissful simplicity.
