[MOC] Embrace

A merry Christmas and my best wishes for the new year, everyone! After a year such as this, more than ever I wish you a year packed to the brim with long and warm hugs. Hug the people you love. Hug the people you only now realize you want to hug. Hug everyone who might possibly need it. Embrace each other and each other's differences.

It didn't work out last year, but this year I couldn't let the opportunity to participate in the BuildToGive initiative slide. So I'm back with a (vaguely) holiday-themed build which I put together surprisingly quickly over the last three days in between all of the festivities! Such speed was only possible because of the great stud.io program and my new laptop that does Blender renders ten times faster than the previous one. Sweet.

 

Anyway, I'm really quite pleased with how the expressions on the two structurally identical figures turned out with such a limited amount of bricks. And I also surprised myself that I was able to do so in a reasonably solid build as far as the core goes. Just don't breathe on those arms, but I guess there's no way to make them really solid on this scale. Either way, I hope you can hold on to your loved ones more tightly. And if you can't, I hope you can feel the warmth from the figures in this embrace!
