Negative critics are usually negative, constructive critics need not be. The best crits are usually honest but polite, since most people respond better to that rather than the "you suck, start over, rtfm" type user added image

The first post in this thread details it all. If you still have questions, ask.

But overall, the idea is to create a character like you'd see in a fighting game. It can be high-res or low-poly. For brownie points, rig and animate it doing some sort of special move.

Deadline is last day of February.

noob is newbie, novice modeler.

Normal means your failry experienced modeler.

Well, don't forget, there's still a full month left. The animation is optional.

Just because one person does an animation, doesn't mean he will win.

Now just a question.....I putmy scketh of character on my tread already that doesnt mean that I have to make my model exactly like in my scketh, can I make diferent things on it but keeping the same context????
