It's looking really good T1ck - I kind of like the gorilla pose, though maybe he is a little bow-legged. He looks pretty tough! I like the combination of wood and metal. This should look sweet once textured.

You mentioned making a low-poly as well as a high poly model. I was wondering - what are the advantages of doing this? I feel like I have heard people mention building low poly models for texturing, rigging, etc... do you transfer information to your high poly model?

Sorry if this question is out of place.
