missed the mark by 20, but in my defense, what's a pirate without his cutlass and parrot? :D

Sweet! Guy's got some real personality, I love the hook. :D
He seems to have really good topology, but there are a few things you might try changing to see how well they work. It looks like you could save some poly's on his legs or use them to make them more cylindrical. You could also eliminate the two tri's on the tips of his shoes and just use a single one. I'm not really sure how well it would work, but I think you could split the two tri's on top of his shoulders into four so that there's an extra vertice for each shoulder that you can play around with. You could probably merge the points at the end of his pegleg and essentially eliminate two tri's for each side. Try making his sideburns double-sided polygons; you can eliminate some geometry that way.
Well, just some suggestions as I'm no real expert. Just keep thinking "better better better..." and never sacrifice good design, which is what you have.

hahaha awesome! i'd make the parrot either green or blue though, he blends in quite a bit as is. when does the pirates vs ninjas fight start?

it's tough sacrificing design for polycount, but when you're doing low-poly that's the name of the game.. re-did the back and removed loads of hidden detail. also changed the parrot colour, seems to work better (you were right mr. atomic)
cheers for all the crits swizzle! might be cause of the angle or something but his 'sideburns' are actually a mustache :D
things were said and both parties are considerably upset, so I think it's fair to say that a ninja/pirate fight is definately on the cards in the near future.. low-poly style :scream:
thanks for the comments!

I was wondering why he had weird sideburns like that. Heh heh, I guess I'm not used to seeing mustaches that start on the outer side of the nostrils.
Still looking great! I think I'll try my hand at a ninja now.
