Next as far as modeling you oviosly had the feet (i like the concept feet) and his body could use a bit more definition.
My gilfriend is doing a lil internet search on ground hogs and gophers to see if she can give you any crits like that (shes an animal lover = )

They closley resemble the common household pets guinea pigs very closley. Because this is catooony you're allowed alot of creative liscense, but i would definately look at the shpae of its nose, cause the gopher nose is pretty pointed, and yours isn't really in the slightest. Also the cheeks are puffed out (like a squirrel or hamster with nuts in his cheeks) which provides a quite humerous, and rodent look.
Just trying to keep you ontarget as far as gophers go, maybe you'll decide its another animal.
This is a slightly catoony version of a gopher found in the HILARIOUS bill murry movie "Caddy shack

witchy & zykotik: thanks for the input, i will give it a try and post how it looks. I was thinking kinda how ants carry heavier weights than their body so i thought this lil guy could carry and rifle, but yeah i think i will make his hands a bit bigger. and yeah he does look kinda jolly, but i changed the looks of the eyes, i think he looks meaner now, what do you think:
also presenting RodentSR1 Assault Rifle / Scope
and a shot to show how big it is compared to mr rodent
