These look great! This made my day, seriously, since there is all of them presidents of Finland, I'm pretty much into them. :'-D
You have nice caricature style in each other, they all look like themselves.
I like how you used those shapes on their faces too.
Also I like how you colored these, it gives nice texture to them also!
I can't really say who is favourite of these, since they all look that epic. :'-D
But, my favourite presidents of Finland are Ryti, Mannerheim and Paasikivi, I have been into them the most. Do you have favourite one(s)?
I'm not the best at commenting, but I just wanted to throw comment to this, since I just had to.
Great work man!
