Well, first of all welcome to CGTalk!!!!

If you didn't know, WIP stands for "Work In Progress"

I'd say you've got a pretty good looking character going. Do you plan on animating him? One crit would be concerning the mouth. It seems like a cross between lips and a bill from a duck. I'd take it one way or the other. The design seems very "killer bean". I assume that was done on purpose. Mimiking other work is a great way to get started forming your skills. Though you might want to let people know that you were trying to recreate something similar; comon courtesy. :)

well yes the mouth has been a bit of a problem for me ... its gone through a few changes and i stil cant get it to work the way i want it ..

well i will admit , i am a fan of Jeff Lews: The Killer Bean , and the "style" has played a role in my chose if design ... but im not trying to create a killer bean hehe

yes i would like to animate it ... but thats a whole new department for me ... iv been using Max since R3.1 ... and have done 98% modeling :P ... iv rigged the character with Max 5 bones and am in the process of skining ( which for me is increadably difficult) ......

thanks for the reply though ... i didnt expect ppl to have much to say when the work in progress here is so much higher qualit then this :P

Your character kinda reminds me of the beans in Jeff Lew's Killer Bean films :D
