This does not directly relate to the competition as such - apologies for the imposition

I've just seen that Tom Defoirdt has had a good go at a Pippi Longstocking mask on his website http://users.ugent.be/~tdfoirdt/Faces/P ... ngkous.htm

That Pippi mask looks like a vampire ready to attack you

Got an old friend for Honest Abe:

John Wilkes Booth

This is an old one. John Wilkes Booth. I think it's folded from two 1x2 rectangles of black/white origami paper, but I can't remember. It was based on Carlos González Santamaría's Albert Einstein.

Abraham Lincoln, by Carlos González Santamaría, shown for reference.

Another president from Illinois - probably more infamous as a president and more famous as a General !

I might have two more presidents from Illinois to go. One who was a lifeguard in Dixon, Illinois and one who was a Senator from Illinois.

He also may be better known as Pigsy from Monkey Magic.

Sorry for not posting for more than a week. Was really busy.

I realy like the zhu bajie and the various president designs, they show alot of emotion. But just a question: Isn't this challenge about famous figures, or is it the head of human figures. Why don't I see any human figures?

The challenge is famous faces.

I still might try to come up with something new.

I've got an idea I've been working on, but it isn't ready yet.
Still half a month left anyway.

I'm really crap at color changes and they either come with luck or with a long time of planning. Not in one month, of course.
