He is about 10k Tri's, lots of bones, facial rig controlling lips, eyelids, eyes.. etc.. No smooth shading on the faces yet.. nor any uv mapping, this is just testing the deformation of the mesh and the performance of the rig. Other things of interest is the inclusion of an ulna and radius bones to aid in the pronation and supination of the forearm!

dont you love subconcious inspiration, i onced designed a character who was an exact replica of something that id seen a few months beforehand, i just forgot it existed and thought it was a really neat idea i spontaneously came up with :P

It reminds me of this show called "What goes bump in the night" or something, looks almost exactly like the main character :)

I don't know too much about animation, but he's looking sweet [:D]

great stuff, he looks really smooth for most of it which is great. Only thing that kinda faulters is the jump kick, he seems to come down to obrubtly and loose his momentum. If you can tape someone doing this or just study someone doing it (i dont know if you have any mates who do martial arts of some kind, you can atleast do crappy immitation martial arts failing that :P) watch how they come down and out of it.

oh and when he waggles his tounge, make his mouth wider :D
Looks awesome tho dude, good work taking this character into this theme
