So this is goin to be my goblin I that will be a character in a project I'm workin on. This is the first organic model I have ever made and the first UV unwrapping I have done. It's a little iffy at parts especially the shoes but thats just a modelling issue I have, not the best modeler yet still a beginner. I have yet to model the head I've been doing it in steps

Not bad for a first, try adding a few more edge loops to smooth out some of the hard edges on the body...........dave

"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
