Thanks guys!

BillyZ - Either could work, it just depends on your preference. I normally create them seperate and than attach.

Ripper - Yeah, I'm still wondering about the eyebrows... I've seen them done through textures, using seperate objects (like I've got so far), and through fur effects.... we'll see how it goes. I'll probably experiment with all three before I'm done. I've decided to disregard the texture (and the ears) for now and get back to modeling the face again. Welcome to Simply Maya, by the way.

Kevin - Thanks! Yeah, I like the Poly to Smooth method, but just because it's easier to undo than the Poly to Sub-D and it doesn't tax my computer quite as much.
