This is my first sculpture that I have done. I had the idea over three years ago
but it has taken me that long to collect the purple and orange needed for
Dexter's gloves and hair.

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.

(...) A little blocky, but very nicely done. I'd like to see a Dee Dee to, but I think the legs might be a bit too spindly :) Adrian (URL) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

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 :) -Anne (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
