The head was a poly sphere that I just atarted to extrude and intrude faces, edges, and verts untill I got the basic shape then I started to add the detail and make it look like the head I wanted! The body was a sphere and a cube that I shaped and then when I hade the two parts shaped I combined them into one body piece. As for the the "skirt" part Cubes, 1/2 cylinder, and a sphere shaped up! Also I only model half the body and head and then duplicate and attach! Works for me and as you can see I feel is successful! Next I'll be asking you about NURBS cause as I have witnessed you are the NURBS king! Later mate!

p.s. THX Kevin!
