Improved the lighting, more work on the arms/hands.

Still not sure how I'm going to resolve the legs, fore arms, and palm tree hat.

Further story line ideas for this character/ race:

This race is a mix of amphibian, fish (particularly catfish) and humanoid. They can stand up right and walk on land, but are also excellent swimmers. Many members of this race make their living as merchant sailors or pirates along the warmer coastal waters of Middle Earth to the South, near the Bay of Belfalas.

Perhaps their tendency towards brutish piracy, is because, being ancestors to fish and frogs/toads, they aren't terribly intelligent, and don't care much for the laws and temperaments of the warm blooded races of Middle Earth.

Any suggestions/ crits would be greatly appreciated!!

More modeling done, trying to figure out how to make my characters body look better for swimming. Can't decide whether he gets a spear, trident, long axe or scimitar for a weapon. Also, haven't figured out whether he's going to be bad guy or good guy (or both).
