The new sleeping man looks good! Much more detailed than the original model.

Incrementis

Thanks, Acifer !
Modeling sometimes feels like fun character creation, but it's much more complex.
That's why I wish there was a detailed workflow for modeling in the original games. It could lead to some interesting insights.
