    One of hundreds of life-size terracotta statuary discovered in central Nigeria, now called the Nok culture, dating to about 500-200 BCE. This has to be the most beautiful sculpture I've ever seen.

    For the record, I prefer abstract over realism, but art is art.

    Since you're looking for a new Skype Avi here are a couple more pictures more along the traditional comic book art style you might consider.
