Well, hey there. I began to model an anime-fantasy styled character of mine, based on myself (who never thought of doing that nowadays...?). It's the guy you see on my avatar, and I posted that very same low-poly character on the low-poly chars topic, a couple of days ago. Now I've decided to just do a more complex version of it. In other words, let's stop fooling around, and get serious.

That's the character concept. For now, I'll model him with no weapons. Just some fingerless leather gloves, and normal sneakers.

Currently, it has 2082 tris. I'm still running a final look around the model, to see if i can reduce polyies here and there. And I still have a few details to add. In the end, i dunno if it'll end up with less, or more tris that what it has now.

Yes, some parts look weird, at least for now. But I guess that we can only be sure about that when the textures are made. Because there are things that can always be done with texture, instead of modeling them (glasses, for example). Also, I won't use normal maps for this. Not only I don't have much practice with normal mapping, but I also don't think it would look good, on an anime character.
Some of you must've noticed, already, but this is being modeled in anim8or. After it, it'll be exported to Blender, for the UVs, rigging, etc.
C&C Welcome! ^_^
