Hehe I kinda like it, got a nintendo 64 style to it. user added image

A wire or two would always be nice as this is a wip, looks a bit weird around his eyes where the nose should be but I'm sure its nothing.

Dont mind having no nose by the way, its cartoonish so its all your decision whats more estethic(or impossible to acomplish). user added image
