Meet Delwyn. He's my entry in BZPower's System-Based Creations Contest #2: Build Free or Die Hard! Delwyn's a nice fellow, once you get to know him.
Sometimes he gets a bit upset or angry, but he always means well.

A bit of backstory to this MOC:
I've been trying to build a nice, streamlined human face on LDD for quite some time (I came up with the concept for the mouth, nose, and chin well over a year ago, though I changed the nose design slightly after the debut of the 1x2 bow element this year). I recently made some meaningful progress with this on LDD, which I posted to Flickr. Shortly thereafter I learned that BZPower was having a System-Based Creations contest, so I decided this fellow would become my entry.
I ordered the parts I needed to build the head from Bricklink, so that I could experiment a bit more with the build in real life. After I experimented with coloring the hairline black, he started to resemble a ventriloquist's dummy, so that look inspired my design for the chest and shoulders. I was going to call him "Il Fantoccio" ("the puppet"), but decided that was not the best name since it was just a bust and not a complete or functional puppet. I ended up settling on a much sillier name that suited his comical appearance.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing people's thoughts on this MOC!
