Thats awesome! I especially like the wavy lines/layers on the legs. Almost makes it looks like muscles on an anatomy drawing. Never seen artworks of pugs this badass :P

Its a nice carving, It kinda looks like it could be a block print!

The tips that others gave about alignment and such are great tips. I would like to add one more. Read about the safety tips and guides. Also take extra care when jointing really small/thin boards. When the grain is oriented badly it can chip out and cause your workpiece to break. You don’t want your hands near that.

I would definitely like to see a guide for the woven wood paneling! Awesome work.

I have always been a fan of stealth games. Dishonored (especially the first) scratched the itch perfectly! It’s atmospheric. It’s not open world, but each level has its own area to explore that is filled to the brim with stories, sometimes a small side quest etc. I also love how you get to influence the ending.
