Wow, this model looks very nice. I have a few questions, though.

Is the helmet permanently attached, or can you remove it. If so, will you be including different helmets? One like shown, or with horns or such?

Will the guy come with any weapons? I couldn't definitely see him with a mace/hammer or axe.

Thanks! Can't wait to see more!

Hi John; The helmet at the moment is part of the model. Due to current workload it wont be made removable just yet. Firstly we want to get him textured finished and animated. And when the workload gets a bit less stressy then look at different helmet designs and different skin sets also.

The Hammer/Axe is a great idea. I was concerned as there is already a Medieval Weapons pack, and a very good one at that, available. So Just making 1 or 2 weapons and a shield to go with him may be just what is bundled.

At first he will be just a dwarf, and later more bells n whistles ;)

Anthony, I think it mainly boils down to actually doing enough characters in a series to make it possible to implement a game with them.

So for instance, one character in the above style is nice, but a few would make it easier to make a good prototype, one soldier is ok, but half a dozen is enough to start a war with.

My point is, get a critical mass of models for each genre and charge more.

Maybe the beard is taking more polygons than required for the shape

Hi Phil; yep the plan is to do a few different races and characters, but we are going a bit slow at first =) crawling before we even get near the walking stage. But dont worry hopefully we will be able to provide enough resources to build an army, with the help of the GG community that is.

Hi Saurabh; yep the beard was made to be fully animated to allow for the model to feel and move more realistic. lower LOD will have to lose some of the extra qualities of this model.

Nice job. I'd love to see more models like Phil suggested.

Thanks for all the positive comments, makes submiting the model worth it.

The model has been stripped a bit more, taking away tri's that arnt needed, without loosing quality. you cant tell the difference :) will post screenshot soon. thanks.

The Model is now what we would call, completed. Redefined, some sexy changes, some extra clean up and now off to rigging again:

Sorry for the delay in getting this little guy out, a lot of deadlines were getting in the way of this little fellow running into the GG community.

But don't worry, he will be coming to stay pretty soon =)
