"Strong Bad"

Hey, if you don't know him, neither did I! One of my friends at work found out I was carving characters for some of the people at work. He asked if I'd carve him this Internet character he likes called, "Strong Bad."
After a brief lesson on this guy, I kind of liked this little "irreverent" guy and so my next project commenced.
"Strong Bad" it turns out is extremely popular. http://www.homestarrunner.com/yearbooksb.html
It turns out, the simplistic position I selected for the project allowed me to basically "cope" him out quite a bit before I had to take the Dremel to him.

First, we "cut" him down to size.

Cut off the extra length of the block and cope him.

Here he is, pretty well trimmed.

Time for the Dremel.

He really lacks many features that would take time. However, getting a piece of wood round is tricky... and this guy has four round features!

I'm cautious to "leave" wood for the features on his face that need to be raised.

Now you see what's left is to refine his features and add paint.

... and, here you are...

Would you believe this guy's got brothers?
