Thanks, I started with a cube and made the head first by basically making some divisions in it and moved those around to get a basic shape, then I just made even more divisions and made the model even more detailed, then I just extruded the neck and kept extruding the faces to make the body and shaped it the way I wanted it to.

I used a script called MJ Poly Tools( https://www.maya3d.dk/Scripts/MJPolyTools/ ) and used the the thing called edge loop split to make more divisions.

I did make only one side by using MJ Poly Tools to make a line down the middle of the cube, then I deleted the faces of the left side, duplicated the right side, and I made sure that in the duplication options I had "Instance" checked instead of copy.. then I scaled the duplicated side across the X axis with a value of -1 in the channel box/layer editor. This made the part I duplicated go to the left side and so because it is an instance, whenever I move vertices around or make divisions in the right side, it edits the left side exactly the same way and makes the model symmetrical.. Hope this makes sense..
