cool youved got the main shape of the whole body, would look really great if you started pushing things out and giving abit of detail soo things are noticeable instead of just smoothed out ...

goksimaster, do you mean more detail?

I don't need more detail, most of the body won't be seeable. He'll be covered with clothes and some armor.

why build the body if he's going to wear clothes and armor? you really only should model what you're gonna see, unless you plan on using cloth.

No, I won't use cloth. I'm just working on a sketch. I'll post it in the next days user added image

I did not really thought about modeling just, what you'll be able to see. ^^

My plans changed. I won't post the sketch because I can show you what I'm going to do with that what I have done so far.

And this is the armor that I'm going to do:

And under the armor he'll wear clothes of course.

If your making his armour over your body I would try to get him anatomicly correct by adding more detail to his base body.

Is his mouth open for a reason?

The mouth is opened, because I thought he would have a better expression. And as I sad he doesn't need more detail because under the armor he'll wear clothes. You'll se only the arms and the legs.
