lookin good. Only thing that stuck out to me at first was the fur bits were extra white and the shadows on the skin are really red/magenta. Making it all slightly desaturated, darker and kindof washed over with yellow/green might help tie it all together... either that or kill it :P
awsome stuff dude (i wish i had low poly painting skills ;_;)
edit: almost forgot... MORE ANTLERS MEANS MORE POWER!!! :P

Thanks mate
Nizza:
Thankiezz
I tired really hard to get them shadows looking like that, but yeah i dont think they fit in either. Worked on them crits aswell!
Also, bigass antlers FTW!

Hai guyz!
So yeah im done!! I think this is my best low poly piece yet. Will work on another one like this hopefuly soon enough!
Wires/Textures/Polycount etc:
Hope you like it!
agree'd on it looking aws (and woo, antlers!)
hope you get onto some more soon man
(making me wanna try low poly stuff now :P)
The end result is looking great! I think you could have handled the UV's a bit better though!
I see a lot of empty space, and some items which could have benefit from being mirrored- namely thinking on that antler texture in the bottom left. There isn't a ton of difference between the two textures.
In regards to UV space, I find it helps to lay out all the BIG chunks first, and then squeeze the smaller, less important chunks in wherever you can find space.
Anyhow - the model looks really nice! I agree, I want to see more
Just to throw something in, a tip that's worked for me before regarding uvs with low poly models like this is to make the texture in photoshop first and then map out the uvs. As weird as that sounds.
I'm also not sure if this applies, but when I made models for the DS I could move my uv coordinates wherever I wanted, so uvs on top of uvs and what not. It really helps reusing as much as you can and mirroring whenever possible as well (like Jon said). I also agree with his advice regarding the chunks.
