How I wonder how I missed this one! I like it a lot! Yes it isn't a very useful comment but I'd like to encourage you in doing another one mini like that or even any other attempt.
The joys of Brownstuff. Half of the time *I* couldn't tell what I was working on until I figured out to keep dunking the sculpt in water (lightens it to more of a hot cocoa color), which has the added bonus of keeping your tools from getting stuck. The "backpacks" were an attempt at web gear (all those pouches that modern soldiers are covered in - I kept M&Ms in mine). The horrible brown mess at the bottom consists of tentacles (or an attempt thereof) wrapped around some kind of sci-fi gun.
