'The Man Eater'
This one, used in a school game project called Words Of Power. A spellcasting game where this mug was the main foe. Adding shaman masks, body paint, shields, weapons and armour made him a different foe. I only saved the helmet since the other things turned out too crap to show.

Maybe give him some war wounds so he has a few stitches across his chest and maybe legs you could have a scar going vertially down across one of his eye's. So he has that appearence that he is battle hardened. I reckon this could jazz him up a bit and make him look more interesting.
But other than that I like it I think the textures look nice, I like the subtle hints of dirt on his belly and gollumesqe expression on his face. But don't necessarily take my advice as I am still trying to get better myself some really good character artist's will be on the forums soon and they will give you the advice you need to make it a truly ninja piece.
His leg wraps look flat. You can add some geo there and enhance the normal map, they'll pop out nicely. You could also desaturate the color a bit or introduce some color variation to match his loin cloth.
I rather like his simplistic design, it's straight and to the point.
"I'm gon fucking eat you."
Wow Sauron is on Polycount? Geez I would never have guessed!
Anyway, thanks, and thanks for pointing out that about his fingers, can't believe I hadn't noticed! They've all the same length!
True that. The wraps did get flat, and I who spent hours modeling them, what a blunder... and the color of them is way too strong for the rest of the quite saturated color sheme of the rest of the character. Thanks again:D
Thank you for the very elaborate comment and not some short snort, but you can't expect everyone to give long comments either.
I agree with you on many points. Though, for example adding a scar would ruin his purpose. He is supposed to be a standard enemy working as an action figure where you just have to change his EQ in order to have new enemy type. If every foe in the game would turn up with the exact same scar then the re-use would be obvious enough to make me turn the game off (tough I sneaked in a little scar from the Cheiftain NRM map so he has atleast a little scar...)Thank you again for the comment!:D
No way! In no manner at all! It was cool that you had only Sauron as nickname and not like Sauron123 or you know, just Sauron, the very most evil anatgonist of all! And having Sauron giving me constructive critisim on a 3d forum felt like a paradox. I just got this image in my head with Sauron sitting with a laptop in his lap, lit up by the light of the screen watching threads. That's all sorry for the inconveniance...:(
And actually not good enough in english... so i'm sory
Why? Didn't you read what I wrote, your name is cool! It's like having the name Darth Vader, you shouldn't be sorry for anything and I wasn't trying to make you feel sorry either.
well... less talk - more action, still waitng for updates and cool dinamic pose shots
