My First Character in Maya, crits please

Hey everybody!

I just decided it was time to do an organic model. I'm not sure what it to call it other than "Ned". I think I might need to rework the eye sockets a little? And of course the eyes are not done user added image.

Tell me what you think :bgreen:

I am going to learn how to animate in Maya, (that is what he is for user added image). I am going to put some textures on him after I get the eyes done. Any more suggestions would be great.

Hey.. are there any good tutorials on setting up a character rig in maya? I'd like to animate my little guy eventually user added image. I've found some, I'm just asking if you recommend any in particular.

I'd recommend Mike's ones from this site.

I like your character, will he be getting eyelids?

Yeah... I wasn't going to put eyelids originally but he looks scared or surprised without them user added image.

So after I finish reading up on the rigging process I am going to go ahead and set him up with some eyelids. It will give him more character.

I like the eyelids...

one suggestion to make his face more acceptable and detailed... add 2 little holes in the middle for his nose..do not make an actual nose, just 2 little holes
