It doesn't look bad but I have the feeling you're spending a lot of polygons on something rather simple, and it could be pushed a lot further. Got some wireframes?

hey snader, haha you caught me!!! *guilty* yea i did use quite a bit for such a simple character
i was going to just make his body a 8x8 sphere but for some reason, God only knows why, i decided to model out edge loops for eyes and mouth and etc... XD

and what would you recommend i do to further push the model?

The poly count looks fine to me. If anything, you could probably throw in a few more loops around the eyes and eyelids for animation purposes as that's where a lot of your character is going to be coming from.

Agree with Jab more edge loops.

I am thinking mostly at the middle, that point in the center of his face looks problematic.

I know you probably got a lot of references but perhaps you missed the little white dots inside of him, I was thinking you could try to add those in the textures?

Or if you can get away with it, make a copy of him shrink it inside of himself slightly and use opacity and create "two" textures one solid one 80% opacity like this reference:

You can sort of see within him and that is a great effect to try to fake/recreate.
That is my best guess on how to do it anyway probably a better one but I just threw you a bone.

Looking good sour bill is a lot of fun.

@jackablade - yea good point, definitely would need more edge loops around to eyes to make it animate better, yea at one point i would like to animate my characters XD would be cool to see them move haha

@d4v1dc - yeaa nice call out... didnt realize that triangle thing there till u pointed it out @.@ thanks!!
ahh and the white dots, actually i didnt realize it until you pointed out @.@ oh man... i think ill try painting it in, ive been trying to get better at hand painting so ill see if i can make it work!!

thank you for all the critiques!! and the bone... haha
