I've made a basic "sketch" of how the image is about to be composed, allthough I'm going to add a background instead of the whole black area, but I'm not entirely shure about what I want (creepy forest or creepy room) yet.
...too bad I can't model heads... :headbang:
(removed image to clarify wich one I'm doing)

I'm going to be working in nurbs mostly, and maybe I'll be able to add some fur to the huggybear. as with the last image there's gonna be more objects in the scene than just the bear, some blocks as you might see, and hopefully a load of other toys since I'm trying to get the "tortured toys" look.
I'm feeling a bit more confident with this one

That will require UV mapping, but it gives you better control than nurbs, imho.

1-model throw multi patch cuz sticking objects together won't help and free form fillet don't work always and very slow...
2-make a side,front,back if you can sketches and model them throw poly...if you can't model heads DON"T skip it try to learn modeling them there's alot of tuts on net its very importanat to know how to model them and believe me they are very cool when you know how to model them.
good luck

Now I want to add some materials on them to check how it looks, but when I try to use different materials on different faces it gets weird. soo to fix that problem I deleted the faces i wanted to have in colors and made a new cube and fitted it in nicely with the old beveled ones great, now I should be able to use two different materials on the "same" ombject.... WRONG! instead i get the same problem on my old beveled object (the one where I deleted some faces).
Anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it?

just because of the help I've gotten I've decided to show a little testrender I did with some textures and lights to test coloring directions to create the right mood
