More tweaking to his head. As you can see, I'm trying to utilize poly count on his head by not smoothing.

For some reason, my renders keep aborting. I'll see if I can fix this, so I may not be able to post anything for a bit..

Strange.. I'll try deleting the prefs or something. If that doesn't work, I'll just use Maya Software. The renders won't look as good, but the beast will be all the same user added image

My file decided to be 'Userist' and not work for me. Every time I try to make a move, it freezes. Before this happened, I decreased the poly count to almost half of what it was before. After that, things started taking a long time to load. Even small operations like splitting an edge took about 2 minutes to actually be performed. So, all I can do is submit the model as it last was user added image

By the way, does anyone know what could be causing this?

Sounds bad that Shaderblade, you tried deleting you history??

Sometimes if your PC's low on RAM and you have a heavy history it can slow your PC down quite a bit?

Sure you know this though.
