Lumberjack


This lumberjack is a bear. Maybe he sometimes works with Smokey to make firebreaks, but mainly he is just trying to earn his pay like anyone, so he can afford decent housing and fish on the table.
There are two photos which were used heavily for reference, one is #sb10069056c-001 on Getty, and one is here which was also used for texture. For texture I also used this and this.

This bear is good. I like this bear BECAUSE it is good. Well done. Bearwise, it's delightful.

Thank you Ted! I'm delighted to know the bear is successful bearwise. Commentwise, your comment is encouraging.

This bear makes me smile. I'm curious. might I have you permission to use this as an avatar? I feel it is representative of my own ursine tendencies and hatred of most types of tree.
