I like what you have going on. I am really interested to see it with the fur- how will you be doing the fur? are you going to use PaintFX or a plug in? I ask because I have no clue how to achieve that effect.

I do have one comment if you are starting over- You may want to model you character in a nuetral pose , so that you could rig it and pose it any way you like in the end. If you only want the one particular pose then disregard this C+C...

keep up the good work!
