Well organic modelling is not my best, so I've been trying to practice the human body. This character I'm making is a "fighter" character, his face with be clothed like a ninja, only his eyes will be revealed. And then either pants or those samurai like dresses. Here's a few pics, let me know what you think.

Hey, this is really looking nice! I just suggest raising the nipples on the guy and his whole chest area alltogether, just a bit higher, more level with his armpits. I know its a WIP though, but so far, great job! and, BTW, i like the mask.

M is right about the chest area, but I'd also get rid of the seem in his lower arm and even out the skin between the thumb and index finger. It looks a bit folded.

Very good mask btw!

Also there's this site that has a lot of free 3d models, including a ninja. If you don't know it, I'll upload the scene for you.

Thanx for all the insight, yah I know about the 4 fingers, I was starting the character (cartoony) as my first animation project and I didn't want too many bones in the hand cause its all new to me. Well I can easily add an extra finger. And with the chest, yah I haven't put any real muscles in his stomach yet, I wanted to pass these images past you first before I continued.
