Hi there, welcome to polycount :) Your model is good, however the shadows and lights on your scene are too flat. Btw, is your scenary modular? good job on it :)
This is not a MMO style character system, but it should give you some idea of some of the work that goes into creating a modular character... http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/SkankerzeroModularCharacterSystem
That's brilliant, Per - thanks! Gonna see if I can use that to distort the outer shell then use a modular kit for the internal bits to kitbash the destruction quickly :)
c'mooon! :) pick something small and modular that won't be an epic slog! find a scene and simplify it down the the basic blocks! The contest is only as big as you make it! :)
