ATTENTION: final image

WOO-HOOOOOO!!! I finally feel that I have finished modelling!!! I've given him some temporary colours. Tomorrow I hope to texture him (not sure whether I'll have finished them by the deadline though).

I've just been doing some experimenting for the 3D painting tool... I'd REALLY love to use it, but the PLE puts that stupid watermark across the texture file. So I'll have to map out the UVs, printscreen then make the texture in Paintshop pro and import it.

UPDATE: This is now my FINAL image for entry in this round of the tournament... however, I am still working on UV layout ready for the texturing in round 2 (if I make it user added image
