Genereic character

Still have a couple of hours left finalizing this guy. He's going to be rigged and animated for class. Give me your two cents.

I agree to what Pony wrote, he's got character but I don't think he's too thin. I think it kinda suits him to be that thin. But on the second picture I think the ear looks a bit odd.

Keep it up

Thanks guys. The ear looks weird because I haven't attached it yet. I'm having trouble, and I might have to <gasp> make another one because the geometry is too dense.

This is the character setup with controls. I used some class notes and used the hogan rig as reference
