My entry for the Mini Dom War contest over at GA.org. He is based off of Brian Parnell's (modeling man) awesome DW2 entry, Leon. He is at 650 tris with a 256, and his accessories at 148 with a 128.
It looks nice, but my AD and the LD lead would probably flip if they saw the usage.. I dunno. Keep going anyway. The worst thing anyone can do is stop. :P Try using a 128 pixel per meter ratio, it's a standard in some places....
