Promise not to laugh at my fledgling attempt?

I thought I would join in the community spirit here, and post some pics of my attempt at....well, its nothing/no one in particular.
I aint anywhere near the standards that already here, but share and share alike!
Please don't be too harsh......

A lot better than anything I've ever sculpted...

Never be too hard on yourself. It took me so long to learn that. Your work looks great.

I am impressed! What is it sculpted from/out of?

The moustache and rough shape reminds me of a Metal Gear Solid character... nice work!

Thanks guys, means a lot.
I did think Solid Snake at one point, I might just cast it and stick a bandana on it!
I have used oil based clay (I do have some WED clay, but I want to get my skills up before I use it), so getting that glassy finish is hard.
