Howdy! I'm a bit late to the party, but I thought this contest might provide some good motivation to finish a character for my senior project, the thread for which you can find here:

Here is my concept for the character:
My studies are more focused in rigging/animation, so if you guys have suggestions on how to make the design a bit more interesting, please share them! I will be using 3DsMax and ZBrush, so I will be definitely adding more details than what is in my concept.
The goal is to get this guy done in about two weeks for my senior project, so that fits well with the contest deadline. Can't wait to get this guy modeled!
