Ha!
excellent choice Christian, looking forward to your entry
yeah that should be nice
will you just do the torso or the entire body as well. I vote for the entire body
Looks good so far mate. One thing that stands out at the moment is the little guys stomach. on the original pic, it’s very lumpy and protrudes much further, and that his left hand shoulder (as you look at it) is visible and dropped lower than his right arms which just sticks out the way you’ve modelled it already.
hope that helps, it really is looking good.
thanks for the feedback 
yeah sure … i will add all those asymmetrical stuff - like lower arms and stomach blobs, etc. - later in the progress.
here is a ref of the body …

if anyone has bigger better refs please let me know
