One thing I might suggest with the model is to have the little horns on his torso seem to actually protrude from the skin more. Right now it's kinda just intersecting the surface, if you get my meaning.Yeah, the mesh is a bit dense. Might be too late for this one, but in the future, you might want to rig it before smoothing.

Very clean.It looks like you shouldn't have too much trouble with making the horns protruding into the surface of the skin.

about the horns
yah i agree. i just discovered that when you apply smooth operation Maya rebuilds the entire mesh as quads...amazing! Mike i've been trying to find a way to attach the horns...while trying to figure out how to rig him at the same time. i have 1 question:
how come if i use union boolean operation (the body and the horns)...the entire mesh disappears...?
does anybody knows y its like this...?
