Character model

Sir Apple

Hello all! :)I'm new to this community, actually just joined today. I thought I'd start by posting something I'm working on. I've been modeling/texturing for about 2 and 1/2 years, but have yet to start character modeling, so I recently started it .

I'm going for a player model, with the proper topology/tris count and quality for CE2. Firstly, I'm just modeling the body "shell" so as to allow for a variety of heads/hands and such to be interchanged in the future (here is just an example of what I'm going for: http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr222/trgallery/us_medicyoke_1.jpg ).

Anyway, here is where I'm at now.









I'm mainly looking for crits on the mesh. I realize now that I messed up on it, not sure if its worth fixing, or where exactly to apply my fixes. Personally I feel the whole neck area needs redone.

I may restart from the stomach area and up again, that may be best I guess.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Far to much edge loops in places that don't really define shape. Delete some of those. The chest doesn't need 3 edge loops close together.

Try to keep your polygons nicely spread out except for where detail is needed, eg collar bones etc. Also try to think about the flow of polygons alongside muscles, researching anatomy will help out a lot.
