hehe…awesome. I can definitely see this one becoming a game icon. It seems memorable enough.
It’s screaming out for detail though, let’s see some more! keep it up.

Well here it is, the progress that is! Done in my lunchtime over the last few days, done in 3ds max…
The Noggin
Just a sphere, with a bit o’ extruding, and some tweaking!
The Body
Started out with a a quad , extruding a lot of edges and poly’s , used bevel a lot with this one.
Tweaking!
This time was spent, was just spent trying to define his shape and get the lil’ guys proportions right.
Details
Started adding more details, used the chamfer edges tool, found this really usefull, extrude got in there too.
I used to post up on the drawinboard, mainly 2d stuff realy enjoyed it, now I feel I need to brush up on my 3d skills and learn more stuff from any of you guys and gals out there…
So C&C would be most welcome. 
More wip, will be on the way.

…Wip.
The Legs
Just extruded from the edges at the hip, then tweaked the verts then extruded some more, added a few more poly’s here and there to add more volume.
The Feet
I usualy hate doing feet, but I have to say I got well into these! I’m not into feet or anything! I just love ninja shoes, they’re so cool! Much more of the same processes, extruding, beveling and a bit o’ mirroring!
More detailz
I started adding sole to the feet, and added the knuckle things, I basicaly made the middle fingers knuckle thing the cloned then alligned them to the other fingers.
Whats changed?
Well the bobbly thing on his , masky type thing. so basically not much!
The Eyes
Was thinking of just texturing these, but I thought hey! I got a few polys to play with, so I’ve modelled them, I think they’ll give them some depth.
A Render
Here’s a render, still needs a lot o’ work, 2330 poly’s so far…
C&C most welcome.

Nice!
Way to stick to the concept! He’s coming out great!
I like that you were able to add the ridges of his pants in the geometry. I guess you’ll be able to have many more details like that and still stay under 4K!
Keep it up!

Looking great so far, 
my only crit is the colour scheme, I know he’s a ninja, but the character and feeling that the character implies in your origional picture sujest a kids icon :hmm: , and for that i’d expect primary colours, maybe even a hint of colour like the eyes bright red might be enough.
dont hold me to this its just the image ive got in my head, he would really fit into a sonic type universe.
P.S what happened to the tail :surprised

Cheers baaah888, glad you like it, I was kind of thinking he’d be a kind of cutesy character within a kind stealth ‘em up, I think mixing the two genres is kind o’ fun and something I’d like to play about with. Imagine Mario in a quake world, or a quake guy in a marioesque universe, that’d be funny!
Thanks for your comments though, as for the tail I just ditched it, didn’t think it added anything to the character.

ahh ok cool, 
“stealthy killer cartoon monkey slays family form shadows”
i really like this character, so one more little sugestion relating your model to your concept, the eyebrow/forehead doesn’t meet in the concept but does meet in the model, I think the concept idea rocked, i can imagine the little guy doing the “peoples eyebrow” at an unsuspecting baddy,
keep up the good work

Howdy Okse,
This lil fella is looking sweet. A lot better since you’ve introduced the blue into the textures.
Are you going to do some animating with him at some point?
If not could I have a play at doing something with him?
Take it easy bud.
Jon
