Ive got some gangly legs (which i know need work) and a head slapped on. Im intending on draping a large cloth over his back then covering him with armor plating so I think Im gonna keep his body detail to a minimum so i dont need to do even more work

I slapped on some legs, a saddle, and some knobs on the head. I realise that the legs are a bit off where they connect to the body. I intend to cover them with a large cape type thing being draped over it. I f anyone knows an easy or effective way to do this please let me know. Every time i throw a cloth object over him it always stops before the body user added image

. Let me know what you think. Thanks

hope that solves your cloth problems

I tried the cloth stuff you mentioned, but nothing seemed to work, so i just duplicated his body and altered the duplicate to give the apperance of a molded cloth. Hes now got neck armor on front and back as well as an attempt to texture everything.
