Been working on this model for a few days now and im just getting into the whole skinning part...I am going for a kingdom hearts style skin on the model, here is what i got:
Nice job, though I'm not familiar with the character. The eyelashes are bugging me a bit though... too heavy near the tear ducts.
If you're using OpenGL or Direct3D, you can set it to filter the textures. Customize > Preferences > Viewports > I forget the button name. Change the radio buttons at the bottom to Linear, and for bitmap size change it to "Match Closest." But if you're just using the software display mode, then there's no filtering.
The arms do look a bit short. The shape and direction of his spikes make his head look large. Bring the roots down, and the tips up a little. Point his eyelashes up and out more, and not too thick. The face and texturing look fantastic. The best version of this character I've seen so far, whoever he is.
I know Naruto, and this is a dang good start. Chris is right, the head is pretty huge. the distace from his brow to the top of his hair is out of proportion to his head.
As for the KH look: I think his legs could be a tad shorter,and the hands & feet bigger. I think you also need to exageratte the clothes to match the syle:
Nice to hear from you again darksun. Well, to be honest I wasn't going for a complete kingdom hearts style, with the oversized feet and hands, I am just using the skin style, which looks good on an anime style model in my opinion, better then cel-shading .

Anyway, I made a last minute decision to make the grown up version:
Need some major crits on this one.
