sketch of Bogart that I did that I sort of like. referenced from here (I put a coupla years on him, sorry Humph)

i don’t know if it’s to do with the limitation to monochrome or just the styles of the time but actors of this era had some really awesome faces. John K always goes on about kirk douglas (amazingly sent up by dave stoten with audio from frank gorshin here), and I’ve also seen it mentioned Kurosawa had a real knack for picking superb mugs.

trying to think of the great countenances of today… Willem Dafoe’s pretty good. i might draw him tomorrow.

Steampunk Zebedee I modelled in 3dsmax as an excercise (based on this drawing I did here). It's got 710 polygons so I doubt it qualifies for low-poly but I wanted that aesthetic. The unwrap could have been better - you can see on the pipes coming out of the body that the pixels are distorted, and a few areas seem to vary in resolution, which I think is a bit ugly - but overall I'm pleased with it. The modelling took me an hour or two and the unwrap/texturing took me as long again.

I had an idea for a comic so I started drawing it to procrastinate over other comics I need to be finishing.
