Nice job. When I first saw it, my thoughts were the same as
Adrian's. However, with the drawing style of Dexter, it looks
good blocky, and I think that makes this a very effective
sculpture :)

I didn't relize it before this project but Dexter is drawn with the same hair
loops regardless of what angle he is drawn at. Also his glasses and two buttons
are visible from the side. I chose to show them only from the front so his side
profile dosen't quite look right compared to the cartoon version.

I wanted to make him lifesize (2 feet tall) but I realized I didn't have enough
pieces of any color to make him so he is only 14" tall.
