thanks for the comments guys

gster: Thats a good idea, but I think a basic block of the feet then arms are coming up next (haven't looked ahead in the video yet) then from there I'll be doing adjustment before I go into more detail. The reference images that I'm using don't seem to be too far off, the only problem with them is the picture is drawn with the arms down so I have to get them to a basic shape then rotate them into the T pose to get them in the correct position.

This video is much easier than I expected. I tried it without any reference images to outline from but I don't have enough experience with organic modeling to be without the references to basically trace over.

I probably wont be getting to anymore of the modeling tonight, but hopefully tomorrow I can get some more work done.
