well if you're so shy, a wire might give you something to talk about:

looks good! the proportions are a bit monotonous and face detail looks a bit too soft (maybe needs some more wrinkless and texture to normalmap).

I don't know why (and is it a good or bad thing?) the character looks more (pixarish) animation character than game model. Maybe it's the shiny pants and soft facial features?

But otherwise a good model. I'd like to see screenshot of this character with only some plane grey material and wire. It's a bit too hard to see the wires from the last pic.

More comments coming up after the texture updates! :)

looks generally tight, ill re-iterate the proportions, there a bit cartoony. and I don't meen to be disrespectfull, but his beard looks more like smeared poop, unless thats what it is.

cool work - you should ad a sheriff star ;)

[PeterZbinden]

Well sorry guys, i had to deal with an infection and then i got vista and had to deal with that :P so i didn't have alot of time to work on the model.

@ElFuego: could you go into detail what is monotonous about the proportions?
@Novaprospekt: same thing could you give me clearer information in which way the proportions look cartoony?

I worked on the texture and on the other chanels and here is the update:

I quite like this character, nice spec too. Could use more detail on his clothing, hair on his arm. Maybe also pull back the verts on the bottom of his fingertips a little. Keep it up :)

I believe the guys were talking about the fact your char is 5 and a half tall, while an adult regular figure should be 7.5 or 8 heads tall. I think if your cowboy was 8 heads tall and had more reallistic proportions, he would command more respect among the guys of CGTalk :)
But I think it depends on your intention. Personally, I think he would look better with more adult proportions.

thanks jramauri, i compared it to da vinci's body study. the uper arm was too large and so was the head. fixed both.

@requiem2d: I will put some hair on his arms and will look at what i can do with his fingers in the next update.

Very nice piece of work. I'dd add lots more texture detail to the jeans and jacket, pockets, stitching buttons dirt rips etc.

The eyes are a waste of polygons as they have no sillouette, I'd normal map some much lower poly primitives, then remove the back, that will seriously reduce the polycount. It's often overlooked so I thought I'd mention it even if this is no yet finished.

Chillipunk: Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Yes you're right about the details on the jeans. I will do this after some changes on the skin.
The eyes don't have their backsides and they only take 224 triangels in total. so if i have a closeup shot of the face and the eyes stick out of the lid because i made them look in a not straight direction, it won't look too cool. so i think i'll let them as they are because just to get a houndret polys out of it wouldn't justify the problems it could cause.
