Another one of these, perhaps more grotesque than the last. I've decided to mix the animal parts with the human parts a little differently in a less aesthetically pleasing way perhaps. And so what? Humans aren't all beautiful. I'm not. And I think there's something more interesting in this than if the face were just flawless. Pretty can be dull. Often makes for a boring portrait. In case it's not obvious (and it's not) this is an otterboy.

I don't find this "ugly" at all! It's a big step away from his other incarnations, but much more interesting I think. The animal referenced is not as apparent, that's true, but that's not so important when you the final result is captivating. It's a great facial expression.

Thanks as always, Vince. I think it's ugly in its way but more interesting. 'Ugly' is also a hell of a lot easier to draw than 'pretty.' :"D
