My only comment would be the join between the Base and the middle ball . . it looks too smooth and perfect. Having said that, I've never made a snow man so I could be talking complete crap
Cheers

Hey cool stuff (pun not intended) More snow at the base of the snowman, and perhaps a particle render of some snow falling, or even quicker just comp some in PS!!
Nice image like it alot

I'm not in any position to comment in any modeling technique--and it looks good to me, as far as I can tell--but the composition might benefit from some random snow located at the 'feet' of snowman, like.. leftovers, and signs of the kids (or big kids) who built it.
Though as a snowman on its own terms, it's a pretty damn good job

BMS-yah, i started off being lazy lol, but i now see the bottom and middle balls needed to be broken apart, thanks.
I-Iybrid - yes thats true, i added a solid fractal to dirty it up, and ramp on the broom bristles.
DJbLAZER-lol, yah i might do that as a joke sometime, maybe write merry xmas from brian as a christmas cd-card to my friends.
Jay, Kyraal - yah the enviornment still needs some work, i think ill add some paint fx snow into the scene. and the evidence of kids being around is a good idea, i might make a displacement of a kids boot in the the snow.
also, im going to add a pipe, i think thats a major thing he was missing, and ill put some pfx smoke coming outta it.
thanks !
