this is what i ve got so far. 798 polys right now. it will probably be a 2000 poly model when im finished
any suggestions? I plan on rigging and animating it.

any texture ideas? all are welcome. how would you set up the ik to a snake like character?
would it be one link from just below the waist to the tip on the tail? im not sure.

looks good so far. Going for the typical scale skin or a slimmy look?

nope,

i think im going to make zombie like, undead, his head and his upper body anyway. the bottom portion maybe some sort of biomechanical type of deal.

Like the design
The ears make him look a bit "slow" though
Maybe some horns on the top of his head will come together with the ears in a evil sort of look :airguitar

do they work, or not?

Here's some thoughts...

Are the lower/smaller arms attached to the main geometry? Would be best to do so if they're not. I couldn't tell from the screenshots.

Work a little more geometry into your upper torso anatomy. You should be able to give him much more definition in the chest and shoulder areas without expending too many polys in your budget.

Would be cool if you could post a wireframe next time too to show how your mesh is spread out across the body.

Keep it up!

The head looks good
the arms are not appealing to me :thumbsdow
I think a pair of full gargoyle wings on his back with little claws at the end of each wingtip would look killer

Looks sweet

Put in some bones in between the wings though,
like webbed feet type idea
the wings would be to weak to support him At the moment
