Good start, I think textures could use alot more detail. They seem to dull atm. The head needs more work, maybe another row of polygons below the chin for a better curve.

Proportion wise it seems ok, as for the hands and boots, they look like they need more polys as well.

If you're in a crunch for poly's, remove some from the back and the leg areas to get more out of the hands and head, the ears I think you can remove a few poly's and still be safe. Not sure.

Could you post a few wireframe?

you could probebly add alot more poly's before its high poly (i'm thinking round 1500 poly total) and add quite alot of detail to the entire deal, then your texture needs to probebly be bigger so as to fit more detail.


a trick i learned in Half-life days is to lets say your making a 256^2 texture, well paint it in photoshop at 512^2 and then size it down and save it at 256^2 becuase it will fake alot of detail and make it look better.

I agree with BitMAP, the only thing I would add is creating the texture at 1024^2 or higher if you have the ram, I start with 4096^2 then scale from there, that way there is a very high texture and then you can scale it down. You probally will never need anything higher than 1024^2.

Just remember, as a modeler, it's your job to push the game engine to it's limits, still keeping it with in reason for frame rate.
