it looks really good - however he kind of looks a bit off balance - like he's leaning back a bit too much. also, his belly button looks a little odd to me.

Jr.who:

Ever heard of Paint FX?
Yes, I may not be as knowledgable as yourself but fortunately have heard of it.
For use bg shader, guess will have to convert paintfx to poly,
never done it before will try it tho.

Thanks for the suggestion there, artist.

looks good. the bellybutton was mentioned earlier, but to me, he looks like a big mouse. I came across a similar problem when I tried to make a spider, but it just looked like an ant.
I think if the ears were longer it will look more like a rabbit.
