Here’s a picture I drew today of Puddleglum, Comments and Criticism welcomed and appreciated.
As they drew nearer, the figure turned its head and showed them a long thin face with rather sunken cheeks, a tightly shut mouth, a sharp nose, and no beard. He was wearing a high, pointed hat like a steeple, with an enormously wide flat brim. The hair, if it could be called hair, which hung over his large ears was greeny-grey, and each lock was flat rather than round, so that they were like tiny reeds.

Wow, 7Chronicles, that is really good! I especially like the eyes. No criticisms here that I can find.
Excellent work! Very original!!

Lovely details! You did a great job picturing the text.

Thank You everyone! I based him off of Bruce Spence to imagine what he might look like if he were cast as Puddlegulm.

Very good! The hair and the eyes are done very realistically, as well as the shading overall. The only thing that I noticed (imo) was the space between his nose and his lips. Just a bit odd there, although it is a matter of opinion because Puddleglum is very skinny and thin, so his face would be quite different from that of a human's. I do like the bags under the eyes and the wrinkles you threw in there.

STUNNING. The attention to detail makes this a home run!!! Its almost how I imagined him, though he isn't quite as amphibian-ish. LoL!
Excellent work!!!

Very good work! The eyes are expressive, and the hair looks just like it should. I like the shadowing, and the fact that though the face resembles a human face, there's also something very inhuman in it. Excellent work with the nose.
