(Thank you Wow-Wiki for the reference pic!)

 

Basically a Froggie/humanoid Baddie From The Wonderful world of Warcraft

...I kinda love 'em 

my version below;

This week, I decided to post a Crossstitch project I created for my husband... I really wish I had thought this project through a bit more.... it's just done on a scrap of Aida cloth so looks a little ratty along the edges... reason being is that I was mostly just experimenting with this... I had only ever done Cross-stitch on Plastic canvas  I must say, I REALLY enjoyed doing the smaller scale needlepoint on Aida Cloth. It takes a bit longer, and some skill. :) 

I'd love to hear your opinion below ; Constructive criticism Greatly appreciated ( Yea, I'm one of THOSE people.) 

I think I caught the Musculature (particularly in the arms and legs) well. The eyes, however, bother me quite a lot. Though The markings are kind 'Off' I like how they look on him (or...her?)
