Awesome
Reminds me of how Da Vinci did the Mona Lisa (the background that is); he used a different more subtle medium for the background, and that allowed him to put the focus on the subject of his portrait. You have the darker outlines on the subjects of your piece, which makes it stand out. Same with the Legend of Zelda one I saw (which was f*cking boss). Really nice job.
I should try and get the pictures of this snowman I built too, It looks sort of like general Lee.
