I think you could use more geometry to not have quite so many hard edges and angles.

For now i have 4316 polys = 7934 tris
My max is 5000 polys so yeah i could do that ... when i finished with my normals i go for cleaning those hard edges

perhaps you put on a displacement map on it too to give the toes some more meat? not sure how displacement maps affect game engine performance though

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Everything is normal map no displacement

Dunno, like the model but I feel the texturing is letting it down a tad, looks too "generic" the rusty metal appears to be far from rusty and looks similar to everything else.

Maybe study the materials a bit more and then use some custom alphas on the textures to sepperate them more.

I would go back and slow down a tad and refine,

Good going though mate! liking the low poly work so far!

I'll put myself into the Material study of 1 week and trying some techniques for texturing making more realistic looks studing learning... And will go back with texturing. I'm at the beggining of texture learning so yeah it will be hard but i think it will be better to sit and learn and then go texture the model.

10x for the comment buddy

Ok at this point of knowledge i'm not going to texture it coz it will ruin my model i will try making a texture but i think it won't be in my final model so i will go for final compositions rig + a turntable or i will add an environment i dunno for now ...

Try and texture it if you can, but as its not a requirement for the comp its not a must.

I disagree. This difference in the proportions make it less reality and more like fantastic animals.

My animations

My renders

Yeah i agree with u, but i see that the animal got such a big place on his back for a sitting area for a bigger person, and since that evil guy is so small he looks like he might slip.

u can keep him small and give him a some sort of surrounding things so that he won’t slip, its just my opinion

here is some examples of wat I mean "got some images from google"
