[MUTANT] Basketball, rctorres
Hi everyone! Here's my entry. I plan on giving him some spots or some other patterns (could be a cool way to make variations). Haven't decided on a team name/number/name.

Takes my way back to good old 1994.
poff: He'll definitely have a tongue, but I picture he'd just stick it out like MJ while hanging off the rim.
I've been bouncing between working the low and sculpting the high, here's an update:
This topology is nowhere near final. I know I have some elbow room to play with and areas I need to address, but I'm going to hold off until the sculpt is done so I can make better decisions.
@Swizzle: That's a good observation, he's definitely inspired by tree frogs. I really wanted to give him some Chuck Taylors, I'll toy with making them big and stretched to accommodate frog feet, or maybe something different altogether. Thanks!
Yes dark eyes will look great on him
I think if he was on an iPhone or something, you'd rarely be up close. Definitely a big regret though.
Anyway I'm out of time because of some other projects and the holidays, so here's where I ended up:
@MDSChee: I reaaaally wanted to give him the silver and black for you buddy, but I did give him good ol' number 20. GINOBILIIIIIIIII

Did a quick sculpt of a ball based on the box-art from NCAA College Slam

Great call on the basketball too!
A quick little thing I noticed that may have slipped by you was in your last image with him getting ready to dunk, you forgot to clean out the gray background under his little left arm. :P I just thought I'd point that out in case you still hadn't caught it.
Overall, I really enjoy the poses and character!
