Ok... both of those sculps literally can wipe thier butt with the Viking!!!! Those two look awesome.
The reason I say it's not good is based on a few things. My number one complaint is the cape/cloak. It is obvious where and how it attaches. It just looks like there was no effort put into fitting it on. From a personal point, I don't like how short it is. It reminds me of an old woman's shawl. They should have left it off or made it bigger and more imposing. I also don't like how the statue fits on the base and the position of the head. It almost has to be displayed at eye level or higher to be appreciated.
As for the unfinished look... that's just the sculpting style. I'm guessing this piece was sculpted from clay and not on a computer. I like the veins and anatomy. It looks bad ass, despite the wonky leg position.
Now don't get me wrong... I like it, for the price...
